Three officials of the US man and the biosphere (MAB) program and witnesses from the Forest Service and environmental organizations testified on national and international accomplishments of the successful program which was not included in the 1984 budget. MAB witnesses described the 14 program areas of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that include studies of geographic phenomena, demographic changes, urban ecosystems, and the biosphere reserve program. The programs initiate international cooperation in research and planning in such areas as acid rain and forest depletion. The witnesses described the importance of this work to third world countries as well as the need to find a new organizational home for the activities in their support of continued funding for MAB activities.
