Title: Biosphere Regions – Act Globally, Cooperate Locally

Description: The US Biosphere Network represents 28 biosphere regions recognized by the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO for their high biodiversity and potential for equitable and sustainable livelihoods. Each biosphere region is designed to enhance ecological connectivity at scale across protected areas and private lands where people live and work. They connect people, nature, and communities across 48 million acres of US lands and waters that contain rich species assemblages and habitats and rural economies. Speakers will review how biosphere regions are learning to integrate socioeconomic and environmental concerns and provide a case study from Golden Gate Biosphere Network for climate change vulnerability assessment.

Speakers:

• Cliff McCreedy, Science Applications Coordinator, National Park Service
• Samuel Cuthell, Network Coordinator, Golden Gate Biosphere Network
