List

Today on January 31, 2011, I am started to collect postcards representing the MAB or UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program which aims to set a scientific basis for the improvement of the relationships between people and their environment globally. There are 564 biosphere reserves in 109 countries - some of these biospheres are in or overlap with UNESCO World Heritage sites.

"-" = missing postcards
