This summer, the Luxembourg UNESCO Commission is participating in the LUGA (Luxembourg Urban Garden) with a series of 7 public conferences held between August and September. Titled "UNESCO Natural," these conferences examine our relationship with nature.
In this conference, Yann Logelin, Communication Officer for the Minett UNESCO Biosphere, will recount an extraordinary transformation: how an abandoned landscape, degraded by mining activity, has become an oasis of biodiversity.
Following the cessation of open-pit mining in the 1970s, the Minett region appeared desolate. However, over just 50 years, nature has reclaimed the area, fostering a rich biodiversity once more.
This renewal has earned the region recognition from the UNESCO "Man and the Biosphere" (MAB) program, emphasizing the importance of preserving such natural sites – living witnesses to a possible balance between ecological resilience and sustainable development.
