Abstract

In March 2004 the Regionalverbund (regional association) of the Lungau region (Salzburg Province) initiated a meeting with representatives from agriculture, tourism, business as well as with mayors, chaired by the Gemeindeentwicklung Salzburg (municipal development service), where the idea of establishing a biosphere reserve (BR) was quite well received. Geographer Birgit Reutz-Hornsteiner reported on Großes Walsertal BR (Vorarlberg), at that time the only BR in Austria to fulfill the criteria of the new Seville Strategy. As the meeting ended, all chamber representatives expressed their support for continuing work on the BR proposal apace. In a next step, a working group was established. It contacted the Austrian National MAB Committee and also sought the view of conservation authorities. Anita Moser (municipal development service) prepared the presentation to the MAB Committee.
