| "All around the
world, at all latitudes, numerous islands and
small island-states are asking questions about
their future, in facing a series of shared
difficulties, needs and problems. The most
frequent problem is precisely that of isolation.
Information and know-how indispensable for island
progress and development are often available only
on the continent or in other islands far away.
Access to this information and know-how, as well
as their adaptation to the specific conditions of
a given island, is a process in itself fraught
with difficulties and pitfalls. With a view to
facilitating the exchange of information, people
and experience, a whole series of international
meetings grouping specialists and island people,
organised over the years within the framework of
MaB Programme of the UNESCO, have called for
creation of an effective and independent body
capable of bringing together and mobilising the
skills of those who consider islands and their
progress as a shared heritage." >> Go to
