A BIOSPHERE NATION

Discover the extraordinary story of the first entire nation in the world to be recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere.

A Biosphere is a special place, with a community committed to maintaining and improving it – a land with inter-connected ecosystems that support a diverse array of native flora and fauna, and Islanders who work on conservation while also thriving off their natural environment.

It is a place that reveals something unique and globally significant about the way it tells its story; and a place which provides a local solution to global challenges - connecting people to the world around them. It’s an accolade that we are immensely proud of, highlighting the story of an Island where people, nature and sustainable development coexist in harmony.

We’re a land with a rich heritage and strong tradition which is inherent within the community, and shines through our fascinating history which honours the past and inspires the present.

We invite you to discover our extraordinary Biosphere for yourselves…
