Welsh Biosphere Reserve approved

 

On the 8th June 2009, the Dyfi Valley in Wales joined us in the family of new style Biosphere Reserves in the world wide network. We are the only two in the UK.

We in North Devon are pleased to have a second community joining us on our journey towards a more sustainable future. We share the aspiration of Allan Wynne Jones from the Dyfi Biosphere Partnership to be a place " recognised and respected internationally and locally, not only for natural beauty, heritage and wildlife, but also for its people's efforts to make a positive contribution to a more sustainable world."

It is great to have the voice of Biosphere Reserves doubled in the UK, so that the programme can be more widely recognised and supported. We will be looking forward to collaboration with Dyfi in the coming years.
