Mexico & Cuba Renew Commitment to Preserve 'Sister' Biosphere Reserves

Mexico and Cuba have renewed their commitment to preserving and studying their biosphere reserves with a new agreement. The 'sister' mountains of Sierra del Rosario in Cuba and Sierra de Manantlán in Mexico will benefit from this collaboration.

The agreement, signed at the Soroa Botanical Orchid Garden in Cuba, aims to promote agrobiodiversity and peasant productive systems in both countries. It contemplates studies on how climate change affects these ecosystems and establishes biological corridors and connectivity between natural spaces. Two biosphere reserves, Sierra del Rosario in Cuba and Sierra de Manantlán in Mexico, will be the focus of this initiative. The protocol for their study and preservation has been updated to reflect the new agreement. Various organizations, such as UNESCO, governments of both countries, international environmental organizations, and universities, could be involved in coordinating and implementing this project.

The agreement between Mexico and Cuba to conserve, protect, and study their biosphere reserves is a significant step towards preserving these 'sister' mountains and their ecosystems. The project's success depends on the collaboration of various organizations and the implementation of the updated protocol.
