Preparation of the management plan for the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Unteres Murtal in the Styrian Volcanic Region

The aim of the project is the creation of a future-oriented management plan for the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Unteres Murtal, based on the Austria-wide recognized ‘Criteria for Biosphere Parks in Austria’ of the Austrian ‘Man and Biosphere’ National Committee. The management plan serves to bundle regional forces, to steer and control the development of the biosphere reserve, as well as to support project submissions in a national and international context. The specifications of the Lima Action Plan and the international specifications for biosphere reserves of UNESCO as well as the goals for sustainable development (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) are taken into account.
