‘The Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere promotes a balanced relationship between people and the natural environment, through establishing effective partnerships, community engagement, innovative projects, research and learning. Encouraging local communities to act collaboratively to build thriving sustainable societies in harmony with their natural surroundings.’
Galloway and Southern Ayrshire was the first UNESCO Biosphere in Scotland
The region’s designation was awarded by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation in 2012, recognising the fact that this is a world class environment for people and nature.
There are now seven UNESCO Biospheres in the UK, including Wester Ross in the Highlands of Scotland, and the Isle of Man – visible from our coast on a clear day.
