The lengthy nomination document is now drafted and out for review and endorsement with a number of agencies. During the months of September and October, we will be out in the Howe Sound communities and conducting webinars to explain our proposal and to answer questions.

UNESCO EuroMAB conference April 2019

Howe Sound was represented together with over 200 participants from more than 30 countries at the 16th EuroMAB conference hosted by the Dublin Bay Biosphere Reserve in Dublin Ireland. This was an opportunity to exchange views and look at ways to integrate nature conservation with sustainable development.

The Nomination Process

Our goal is to have a completed nomination for UNESCO in Paris by the fall 2019. The nomination process is a challenge in itself, but actually being a biosphere reserve means living up to UNESCO objectives and the particular strategies of the MAB Programme itself.
