Amidst the various contributions and researches of Neli Aparecida de Mello-Théry in the environmental and social fields, this article recalls the experience of the project Experimental Networks for Sustainability. Urban Biosphere Reserves as engines of transformation (ENESUS) and in particular the São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve. Biosphere Reserves have evolved together with changes in the concepts of preservation and conservation and under the framework of the new guidelines of the Seville Framework, Madrid Plan and the Lima Plan the reserves should be "model regions for sustainable development" and "real world laboratories". In this respect the research aimed to identify and map innovative social-ecological initiatives in the reserve territory and their potential for social-ecological transformation, understand the success and failure of the initiatives as well as the strengths and "shape" of social-ecological innovation, and analyse the contribution of the international network of biosphere reserves to local action. Through fieldwork, surveys, interviews and net mapping it was identified a more preservationist character of the reserve, but with a potential to promote innovations considering the experiences that already had as by the various initiatives that exist and still have a niche character.
