Abstract
The MAB programme is an intergovernmental scientific programme that aims to establish a scientific basis for enhancing the relationship between people and their environments. It combines the natural and social sciences with a view to improving human livelihoods and safeguarding natural and managed ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that are socially and culturally appropriate and environmentally sustainable. Vietnam national network of UNESCO biosphere reserves comprises 11 sites. The vision of MAB is a world where people are conscious of their common future and their interactions with the planet, and act collectively and responsibly to build thriving societies in harmony within the biosphere. As a culture, it changes on mental thinking and practical applications, including conservation effectiveness, eco-tourism and socio-economic development, and logistically scientific research. Some experiences are shared, and some lessons learned are also discussed. It refers to various aspects as awareness knowledge, conservation innovation, social economic development and scientific research application. This is to find a respond to the question of how changes between before and after designating the UNESCO biosphere reserve.
