Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere Welcome to SAMAB The Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere Program (SAMAB) is both a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a collective of agencies, private individuals, policy- and decision-makers, and scientists who work together to promote communication and action on key issues in the Southern Appalachians, with a focus on decision-making to foster sustainability. About SAMAB What we do Contribute Archives Skip to What’s New! Biosphere Regions (BRs) serve as models that contribute to sustainable economic development. Each Biosphere Region consists of three key interacting parts: Core Areas are protected natural areas that are recognized internationally for their importance to the natural world. Buffer Zones surround Core Areas and are used for scientific research, monitoring, training, and education. Transition Areas are the outermost areas of BRs, where communities come together to foster socio-cultural and ecologically sustainable economic development. From SAMAB and the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Region (SABR) The success of Biosphere Regions and Sustainable Development Goals ultimately depend on highly cooperative, cross-organizational interactions and community engagement!
