Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation

The Noosa Shire as a region is distinct from other, more developed urban areas and has achieved global recognition for the high values of its natural environment.

In 2007, this exceptionalism was internationally recognised with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) consenting to the designation of our Shire as the Noosa Biosphere Reserve under its Man and the Biosphere program (MaB).

Our ambition to achieve national and international recognition for the special relationship between Noosa’s environment and its community has been recognised.
