UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man welcomes 300th Partner

Mon, 17 Jan 2022


The Manx Bat Group has become the 300th UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man partner after pledging to promote sustainability, conservation and education.

The scheme encourages organisations such as schools, charities and businesses to demonstrate their commitment to the key principles of a UNESCO Biosphere.

The local wildlife group promotes conservation of the Island’s nine bat species through educational talks, activities such as guided walks and volunteer led surveys.

It also offers advice to property owners and developers and rescues and cares for sick and injured bats.

Clare Barber MHK, Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture and Vice-Chair of UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, presented the group’s chair Nick Pinder with a certificate to welcome their newest partner last week.
