UNESCO's MAB 50th anniversary site introduces a video by Japanese Biosphere Reserve Network.

UNESCO's MAB 50th anniversary site (or the permanent site) introduces a video by Japanese Biosphere Reserve Network. 

I give comments twice in this video.

35s- "Natural world heritage sites are focused on conservation that they restrict human activities. I don’t think that’s a good idea. But Biosphere Reserves have strived to realize harmony between humans and nature for 50 years, all over the world. I think this idea is more progressive than establishing natural heritage sites.

15m3s- "I think that the distancing between nature and people will change in the generation of children. To tell the truth, there are both benefits and risks to contact between people and nature. We have to understand this as we familiarize ourselves with nature, and that’s what it really means to lives in harmony with nature. It’s not just a matter of protecting nature or wildlife. It’s actually about making use of nature, accepting the risks and continuing to use it sustainably. That’s what I expect UNESCO's MAB Programme will achieve.
