Jim Birtch – Executive Secretary, Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association

“Rex has been the web master for the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association for over three years, since the CBRA web site was developed. Previous to this, he worked to develop the Canada MAB (Man and Biosphere) web site that incorporated material on biosphere reserves. In all this time, he has been a keen participant in the Biosphere Reserves Program in Canada. His approach to the web site has been intelligent and appealing. Rex has used his initiative, as a volunteer, to find information pertinent to the program and put this together with material submitted by committees of the various biosphere reserves in Canada. He also works readily with CBRA Directors on updating the site. The result of Rex’s
collaborative effort is an attractive and improving electronic window to the program.”
