The day highlights the role of biosphere reserves as unique learning sites and sources of knowledge about sustainable development and biodiversity. On this day, organizations and communities around the world organize events to raise awareness of the importance of biosphere reserves. These reserves serve as examples of sustainable coexistence between humans and nature, demonstrating how the needs of society can be balanced with the conservation of biodiversity. International Biosphere Reserve Day also highlights the importance of cooperation between countries and communities in protecting natural resources and creating resilient ecosystems. This day reminds us of our responsibility to future generations to ensure the preservation of biosphere reserves and the natural wealth of our planet.
