Mexico and Cuba Strengthen Environmental Commitment with UNESCO-Backed Biosphere Reserve Agreement

Mexico and Cuba have strengthened their commitment to environmental conservation with a renewed agreement. On Tuesday, UNESCO facilitated the signing of a protocol for the preservation and study of two biosphere reserves: Sierra del Rosario in Cuba and Sierra de Manantlán in Mexico.

The ceremony took place at the Soroa Botanical Orchid Garden in Cuba. The agreement, a renewal of the biocultural family, recognizes the mountains of Cuba and Mexico as sisters. It includes studies on how climate change affects these ecosystems and aims to promote agrobiodiversity, rural production systems, biological corridors, and connectivity between natural spaces.

The protocol focuses on the Sierra del Rosario Biosphere Reserve in Cuba and the Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. Both countries have committed to conserving and protecting these areas, with a particular emphasis on research to understand and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

The agreement between Mexico and Cuba is a significant step towards preserving and protecting their respective biosphere reserves. By promoting cooperation and research, the two countries are working together to safeguard their shared environmental heritage for future generations.
