The study, spanning 27 months of work, offers a joint perspective on the organization, management, and governance of the archipelago's seven Biosphere Reserves. It provides a detailed overview of the different structures, participation mechanisms, and organizational forms implemented in each territory.
Understanding how each Biosphere Reserve is organized and managed facilitates the sharing of diverse experiences and realities, taking into account the specific characteristics of each area. This analysis promotes knowledge exchange and the identification of participation and collaboration models developed over time.
The pooling of these experiences represents an opportunity to continue advancing and improving the management of the Canary Islands Biosphere Reserves, strengthening participatory and governance processes, and valuing the knowledge generated within each territory.
The document serves as a key tool for understanding the reality of the archipelago's Biosphere Reserves and for continuing to work towards management models that are more participatory, coordinated, and adapted to the specific characteristics of each island.
