This work aimed to analyse the perceptions of Portuguese Biosphere Reserves’ (BR) managers regarding the Ecosystem Services (ES) provided by these territories through a participatory workshop.

In this study, a public participatory geographical information system (PPGIS) approach was employed targeting key stakeholders across the 12 Portuguese BRs, to map their place-based perception over Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP).

Poster presented at the Global Land Programme 5th Open Science Meeting: Pathways to Sustainable and Just Land Systems, Oaxaca, Mexico, November 4-8, 2024.

The Atlas of Portugal Biosphere Reserves provides a visualization where nature, sustainability, history, heritage, knowledge, and discovery converge, offering an enriching interpretation of the Biosphere Reserves of Portugal.

The book outlines the creation of the MaB Programme, the history of the National MaB Committee, and the history of each of Portugal’s Biosphere Reserves.
