Noosa Biosphere Reserve – A celebration of community and environment
Welcome to the Noosa Biosphere Reserve
The Noosa Biosphere Reserve is a celebration of community and environment. Since 2007, the Noosa Shire has held UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status. It recognises the ongoing efforts of the Noosa community to manage the region’s land, waters and wildlife sustainably, in balance with its urban population and visitors from around the world. Together, with more than 700 biosphere reserves around the world, we are working towards the global goals of the Man and Biosphere Program and Lima Action Plan.
