Wester Ross UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

The UNESCO Man & the Biosphere (MAB) programme is an intergovernmental scientific programme that aims to establish a scientific basis for enhancing the relationship between people and their environments. It combines the natural and social sciences with a view to improving human livelihoods and safeguarding natural and managed ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that are socially and culturally appropriate and environmentally sustainable.

The UNESCO Wester Ross Biosphere is approaching its tenth anniversary and has just launched a Crowfunder appeal to ensure it has a future supporting sustainable communities and the environment across Wester Ross.  The organisation, established in 2016 has worked for nine years with virtually no public funding, apart for delivery of some specific projects.  In response to the lack of public funding the Biosphere has established a social enterprise, Wester Ross Consulting, offering a range of community support services and other consultancy work, always linked back to the core function of the UNESCO designation.

So, this is a plea to support the Biosphere by clicking the link below and making a donation to the campaign or sharing this with your friends and social networks.  Without your support the Wester Ross Biosphere cannot continue to work with communites across Wester Ross to help protect this wonderful place and promote a sustainable future for everyoen who lives and works here.

Thanks
