International Partners

Within the world network of UNESCO biosphere reserves, dialogue with other areas is essential. The exchange of project experiences and good examples of implementation in the field of sustainability is essential: what opportunities for participation were used, what measures were taken to protect biodiversity or how was the information centre set up? – these are some example questions.

The aim is to jointly meet the global challenges of theMAB-Programme in tackling the measures mentioned in the "Lima Action Plan", to use synergy effects and to learn from each other in the process.

Cooperation with Lake Bosomtwe in Ghana

Since 2016, the Biosphere Reserve office Schaalsee-Elbe has been cooperating with the Biosphere Reserve Lake Bosomtwe in Ghana, West Africa.

Both areas receive scientific support from the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development.
