Canadian Biosphere Reserves

Canadian Biosphere Reserves are protected areas designated under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme, aiming to conserve biodiversity, promote sustainable development, and support local communities. These reserves integrate scientific research with cultural and social values, fostering efforts to maintain healthy ecosystems while allowing sustainable economic activities. Spread across diverse landscapes—from forests to wetlands—they serve as models for balancing environmental protection with human needs, encouraging collaboration between governments, scientists, and local residents to ensure the resilience and richness of Canada's natural heritage for future generations.
