Description
Overview
The Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere (SAMAB) Program is a public/private partnership that focuses its attention on the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve. The program encourages the utilization of ecosystem and adaptive management principles. SAMAB's vision is to foster a harmonious relationship between people and the Southern Appalachian environment. Its mission is to promote the environmental health and stewardship of natural, economic, and cultural resources in the Southern Appalachians. It encourages community-based solutions to critical regional issues through cooperation among partners, information gathering and sharing, integrated assessments, and demonstration projects.
The SAMAB Cooperative is made up of 11 federal and 3 state natural resource agencies. The work of SAMAB is done by participating agencies, guided by an interagency Executive Committee and carried out by the Executive Director and his Coordinating Office. Essentially the participating agencies and the Coordinating Office make things happen.
The SAMAB Foundation is SAMAB's link to the private sector. Established in 1989, it gives private individuals, firms, academic institutions, and communities an opportunity to participate in SAMAB projects. The Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation to help channel private-sector funding into the SAMAB program.
