Jim Birtch (Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association, Parks Canada) has developed a proposal
for UNESCO ‘Eco-Cities’ (MS WORD DOC) to
compliment but not replace the biosphere reserve program, and to encourage the MAB programme to reincorporate an urban component.
This proposal was presented in Madrid in February 2008 and Ottawa has agreed to be a pilot city for this project as part of their ‘Choosing
Our Future’ planning initiative. See attached documents for review. Jim welcomes comments and suggestions – please email him at james.birtch@pc.gc.ca with
your feedback.
