Wester Ross Biosphere - Supporter

I am proud to annouce that Iain Turnbull Photography has just become a Supporter of the Wester Ross UNESCO Biosphere.

Biosphere Reserves (generally known as Biospheres in the UK) are designated under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme.  They are often located in breath-taking landscapes, and so can be confused with statutory designations such as National Scenic Areas, or perhaps the better known World Heritage Sites. While conservation of natural and cultural heritage plays an integral role, Biospheres do not draw a hard line between people and nature. Rather, they consider that nature is always surrounded by people, and that people need nature to live. They explore how to connect people, nature and development in sustainable ways. 

Wester Ross was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in April 2016 and promotes conservation and sustainable development.  The Supporter Scheme was launched recently to develop links with local businesses  and community groups.  
Wester Ross UNESCO Biosphere Supporters are businesses, schools, communities and groups who already demonstrate a commitment to sustainable development, as well as those who want to do so.  Supporters are required to demonstrate how they are contributing to action under three broad headings of Living, Learning and Legacy.

Further details about the Biosphere can be found at
https://wrb.scot/ and information about the Supporter Scheme, including a download link to the application form or for online applications can be found at: https://wrb.scot/join-us/biosphere-charter

My 2020 Steadings Gallery Exhibition gets underway in a matter of hours today, running until 14th August at Balmacara Square.  The event is open daily from 11am to 5pm and entry is free.  As a taster of what you will see I have prepared a pdf e-Book of the images with a little description and commentary from me.  The e_Book can be found here.  It is best viewed in the two-page view as you get the image on one page and the text on the adjacent.  I hope you enjoy it and I welcome feedback.  I hope to see lots of visitors to the exhibition over the next two weeks.  All images are available for sale in a variety of formats so if you are interested please get in touch via my Contact page.
