About the Man And Biosphere Master

The MAB course of the master " Biodiversity, Ecology, Evolution " of the Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse aims to to bring concepts and tools to managers and animators of territories and protected areas working in the spirit of the MAB program, "Man and the Biosphere" of UNESCO. This training emphasizes knowledge of the interactions between human activities and ecological systems for a sustainable management of natural management of natural resources.

The MAB course is based on the students' practical experience in a French Biosphere Reserve. A project related to the management of the territory, prepared with the site manager, serves as a case study for the students to experiment with the principles and methods of project engineering taught. After a phase of knowledge and data collection during a field trip, the students prepare a report according to a set of specifications before giving an oral presentation to the manager.
