Howe Sound Biosphere Region Initiative

For A UNESCO Biosphere Region Designation

Collaborating For A Sustainable Howe Sound / Atl'Kitsem

Imagine a Howe Sound where biodiversity is protected, people and companies benefit from a sustainable economy, and current and future residents and visitors are able to enjoy the region’s natural, cultural, and social resources.

Howe Sound (or Atl'Kitsem in the Squamish language) has the potential to be an outstanding model of sustainability and ecological health, providing a place for people to live, work, and play, now and in the future. Howe Sound Biosphere Region Initiative is working on an application to be nominated as a Biosphere Region, under the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program.

Together we can make it happen. Help us create a Howe Sound Biosphere Region. Join the dialogue. Share your vision for a sustainable Howe Sound.
