El Proyecto BRESEP ofrecerá apoyo financiero a cinco jóvenes sudamericanos para asistir al Foro MAB de la juventud
The BRESEP (Biosphere Reserves as a Tool for Coastal and Island Management in the South-East Pacific Region) Project will fund five young individuals from Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru to attend the ‘1st MAB 91鶹Ʒ – Committed to Sustainable Development’, due to take place in the Po Delta Biosphere Reserve, Italy, from 18 to 23 September 2017.
The forum is aimed at young people aged 18–35 that live or work in biosphere reserves, or study or conduct research on these areas. It is organized by UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Secretariat and the UNESCO Regional Office for Science and Culture in Europe.
As young people represent the future of biosphere reserves, their voice plays a crucial role in shaping these territories and defining their engagement in the MAB Programme. This forum therefore provides an opportunity for young people interested in biosphere reserves to gather and share ideas and find new ways to contribute to the sustainable development of their communities, in line with the Lima Action Plan.
The main topics to be discussed at the forum are: (i) the contribution of young people to the life of biosphere reserves, (ii) research and studies into the sustainable development of biosphere reserves, (iii) and a sustainable future for the youth of biosphere reserves.
The BRESEP project is coordinated by the MAB Programme with the support of the Government of Flanders of the Kingdom of Belgium.
The objective of this project is to create and reinforce existing biosphere reserves on the coastal areas and islands of the west coast of Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru. The project also aims to promote biosphere reserves as tools for innovative projects to bring added value to local socio-economical activities, and to sensitize and build the capacity of stakeholders in the area.
Thanks to the BRESEP Project and the financial support of the Government of Flanders, the MAB Programme will cover travel and accommodation expenses for one participant from each BRESEP country (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru).
Applicants from these countries should send an application to their national MAB Focal Point/Committee before 10 April 2017.

Los jóvenes son el futuro de las Reservas de Biosfera y deben tener voz en la configuración de su territorio, así como definir su participación en el programa MAB. Este foro, es por lo tanto una oportunidad para que los jóvenes interesados en las reservas de biosfera, se reúnan, compartan ideas y encuentren nuevas formas para contribuir al desarrollo sostenible de sus comunidades, en línea con el Plan de Acción de Lima.
Los principales temas a tratar durante este foro son: 1) La contribución de los jóvenes a la vida de las Reservas de Biosfera. 2) Investigación y estudios sobre el desarrollo sostenible de las Reservas de Biosfera. 3) Un futuro sostenible para los jóvenes de las Reservas de Biosfera.
El proyecto BRESEP “Reservas de la Biosfera como una herramienta para la gestión de zonas costeras e islas en el Pacífico Sur Oriental”, es coordinado por el Programa MAB gracias al apoyo del Gobierno de Flandes del Reino de Bélgica.
El objetivo de este proyecto es crear y fortalecer las reservas de biosfera existentes en las zonas costeras y en islas del Pacífico Sur oriental, en Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panamá́ y Perú́. El proyecto pretende también promover las reservas de biosfera como herramientas para proyectos innovadores para aportar un valor añadido a las actividades socioeconómicas locales; y sensibilizar y fomentar las capacidades de los actores involucrados en el área.
Teniendo en cuenta la importancia de los jóvenes en el futuro de las reservas de biosfera, y gracias al Proyecto BRESEP y al apoyo económico del Gobierno de Flandes, el Programa MAB podrá cubrir los gastos de viaje y estadía de un participante de cada país BRESEP (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panamá y Perú).
Los postulantes de cada país deberán enviar su postulación a su Comité/Punto Focal MAB del país hasta el día 10 de abril de 2017.
