What we do
Wester Ross was recognised as a Biosphere Reserve in 2016 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) for its fantastic array of landscapes, wildlife and cultural heritage that the region offers. Biospheres house dynamic local partnerships, rooted in communities that work collaboratively with Biosphere teams in a global network, to explore how – through education, science, culture, communication and information – we can learn to live in harmony with our environment.
Living
Biospheres are inclusive by design. Rather than keeping nature and people apart, biospheres celebrate the way in which we actively work with our world class environment.
Learning
Biospheres are natural learning laboratories, where we can explore and enhance our understanding of nature.
Legacy
People in the Highlands have long been managing the landscape, and their shared historical and present knowledge are vital to the future of our economic, cultural and environmental well-being.
