Vision:Societies in harmony with nature
Three-fold Approach: 1.Consolidate wisdom on securing diverse
ecosystem services and values
2.Integrate traditional ecological knowledge
and modern science
3.Explore new forms of co-management
systems

Socio-ecological
production landscapes
and seascapes (SEPLS)
Support biodiversity while
providing humans with the
ecosystem services needed
for their well-being
Mutual benefits between
human production and nature
Dynamic mosaics of habitats
and land uses
Deeply linked to local culture
and knowledge4

Sounds like MAB, right?
Similar concepts, different approaches
◦ Designated Biosphere Reserves
◦ Principles that can apply anywhere

Sounds like MAB, right?
Similar concepts, different questions to
ask about the landscape
◦ Does it fulfill the criteria for a Biosphere
Reserve?
◦ To what extent does it provide mutual
benefits for biodiversity and human well-
being?
