MRI Newsletter 5: GLOCHAMORE Update

GLOCHAMORE (GLObal CHAnge in MOuntain REgions) is an EU-funded project to create an integrative research strategy for the detection, impacts, and potential responses to global change in UNESCO Mountain Biosphere Reserves (MBRs). GLOCHAMORE is a market place in which future research projects can be negotiated. Managers of Mountain Biosphere Reserves offer sites, natural resource systems, and specific interests for study, while global change researchers offer knowledge, capacity, and a global perspective. The MRI and the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme act as brokers in the development of research partnerships between MBR managers and research institutions.
