MedMAB network:

The MedMAB Network brings together 72 biosphere reserves from 16 Mediterranean countries, aiming to become a multi-shore network that contributes to balancing human well-being and nature in Biosphere Reserves and beyond, enhancing socioecological resilience in a context of global change.

The Network upholds core values such as tolerance, equity, solidarity, and inclusion, and promotes adaptive management based on respect for people, biodiversity, and cultural heritage. These principles are fully aligned with the mission of the UNESCOMED Centre, which coordinates the Network’s Technical Secretariat, and plays a key role in fostering applied research, capacity building, knowledge transfer, and the exchange of experiences.
