pathway. Step 1 Establish a Conservation and Documentation workplan. Step 2 Characterize the various collections which make part of the project, and assemble the passport data. Step 3 Evaluate other characteristics; in particular, run screening tests. Step 4 Sort the collections; identify duplicates and gaps. Step 5 Harmonise and rationalise the collections. Step 6 Acquire and collect missing germplasm. At the same time, each project will include practical work on the evaluation and utilisation of stored material. We hope that at the end of five years, there will be concrete results in the form of a better knowledge of what is available in the European collections, and a better utilisation of that material, to the benefits of European agriculture, the consumer and the environment.
Man and the Biosphere (MAB) A Global Programme for the Environment: Biosphere Reserves a National and International Contribution to Support Sustainable Development W. GOERKE 1 , K.-H. ERDMANN 2 1. Biospere Reserves - Component of the MAB Programme In 1970, the 16th UNESCO General Conference adopted the interdisciplinary and problemoriented programme "Man and the Biosphere" (MAB); MAB is directed to improve the partnership of humankind and environment. It is therefore the task of the programme to overcome scientific deficits for facilitating more environmentally compatible uses or sustainable protection of natural resources. This requires a systematic approach which comprises natural scientific, economic, social, ethical and cultural aspects. The German National Committee for the MAB programme was founded in 1972. The chairmanship falls into the responsibility of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. The 43 members represent different scientific disciplines, Federal and State Ministries, the Association of National Research Centers, the German Commission for UNESCO, and the German Research Council (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The tasks of the National Committee are the following: - Advising of the Federal Government in the area of UNESCO-MAB policy - Identification of new MAB relevant areas of cooperation - Scientific and operational assistance of the worldwide MAB programme - Implementation of national projects and studies - Realization of MAB-symposia or workshops - Promoting the MAB-philosophy by public relation The affairs of the National Committee are conducted by a secretariat which consists out of four persons. The secretariate is located at the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (Bundesamt für Naturschutz, BfN). In the founding phase of the MAB programme, UNESCO determined project areas for the coordination of the Programme. In this context, a special position is held by the 8th project area the aim of which is the "Conservation of natural areas and of the genetic material they contain" Authors' addresses: 1 2 Keltenweg 11 53498 Bad Breisig Germany MAB-Secretariat c/o Federal Acency for Nature Conservation (BfN) Konstantinstr. 110 53179 Bonn Germany
