This self-paced 3-week-long course (30 November - 20 December 2020) aims to gather individuals that are involved in the management of Biosphere Reserves or other designated areas and offer them a co-learning space in which experiences, lessons-learned and innovative practices can be exchanged to the benefit of all.
