The Biosphere Reserve Office coordinates the management of the territory recognised by UNESCO in 1995. Its role is to safeguard the balance between the conservation of the natural and cultural values of Sierra de las Nieves and the sustainable development of its municipalities, acting as a link between the region, public administrations and UNESCO’s MaB (Man and the Biosphere) Programme.
The Office promotes environmental education programmes, sustainability projects, socioeconomic development initiatives, and the promotion of products and services associated with the Biosphere Reserve brand.
The Centro de Información a la Mujer (CIM) is a free public service operating throughout the region that provides comprehensive support to women in Sierra de las Nieves. It offers information, advice and assistance on equality issues and acts as a key support service in cases of gender-based violence.
It is intended for all women living in the municipalities of the Mancomunidad who are experiencing inequality or vulnerability —in the workplace or in cultural, social, educational, economic or political contexts due to their gender— as well as those who are or may become victims of gender-based violence, including the children and minors in their care.
The CIM promotes the Consejo Comarcal de Igualdad of the Mancomunidad, a participatory body that coordinates equality policies throughout the territory and conducts an annual review of the centre’s activities.
The Mancomunidad promotes Sierra de las Nieves as a sustainable tourism destination, highlighting its status as a World Biosphere Reserve and National Park. It coordinates tourism information throughout the region, the joint promotion of the municipalities’ resources and the development of environmentally responsible tourism that creates opportunities for the local population.
The Mancomunidad develops training and employment promotion programmes aimed at improving job opportunities for the region’s population, with particular attention to strategic local sectors such as the agroforestry sector. These initiatives promote professional qualifications, access to employment and entrepreneurship in Sierra de las Nieves.
The Mancomunidad’s communications department keeps the public informed about institutional activities, services and initiatives throughout the region. It manages the website, social media channels and media relations, ensuring transparency and the dissemination of information about everything taking place in Sierra de las Nieves.
