UNESCO-Michel Batisse Award
Michel Batisse Award is given every two years during the MAB Council, in memory of Dr Michel Batisse, for outstanding achievements in the management of the biosphere reserves in line with the recommendations of the Seville Strategy. In 2019, this US$12,000 award was given to José Santiso (Spain), head of the Mariñas Coruñesas e Terras do Mandeo UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for his project promoting local, organically grown food produce. This project has helped preserve local varieties and linked producers and consumers, including school canteens.
