The flagship product of the MAB Programme has been the constitution of a vast network of 580 biosphere reserves in 114 countries.
We hope that this may be the beginning of a larger initiative on this important topic which maximises IGCP and MAB Programme cooperation.
The national Committee has several other key responsibilities in ensuring that SKN MAB programme is fully integrated into the developmental and public policy agenda of the nation.
The MAB Programme has reached its age of maturity but it is still characterized as a young and dynamic programme that constantly keeps pace with emerging environmental scientific and societal issues!
Although a number of international interventions exist for the sustainable management of Pakistan's natural resources, however, establishing biosphere reserves through UNESCO's MAB programme has not been fully tapped, mainly due to weak implementation at national level.
Plan, prepare and provide technical backstopping for educational, research, public information and awareness activities, training courses, seminars and other scientific, technical or public information meetings of interest to the region and relevant to the goals of the MAB programme.
