Maldives to become UNESCO Biosphere Reserve


Responding to a call for Biodiversity Champions to support the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the Government of Maldives has pledged for the entire country, including its Exclusive Economic Zone, to become a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2017.  This will require the island nation take an ecosystem approach and become sites of management excellence where best available scientific knowledge are tested.
