Indeed, UNESCO's Man and Biosphere (MaB) Program aims to reconcile the conservation of nature and biodiversity with the socioeconomic development of local communities. This program promotes the creation of Biosphere Reserves, which are designated areas for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, the sustainable management of natural resources and scientific research, while promoting the economic and social development of local communities.

In the case of Doñana, the Biosphere Reserve is one of the most important in Spain and has an area of ​​more than 5,000 km², which includes the Doñana National Park and its surroundings. This reserve has a great diversity of ecosystems, such as marshes, dunes, pine forests, and agricultural and livestock areas, which are home to a wide variety of animal and plant species.

UNESCO's MaB Program has been key to the sustainable management of Doñana and the promotion of agricultural and livestock practices that are respectful of the environment and biodiversity. In this sense, the traditional dry-land vineyard of Doñana is an example of a sustainable agricultural practice that has been maintained thanks to local wisdom and the sustainable management of natural resources.
