Welcome to the UN Dyfi Biosphere Reserve website

'Biosphere Areas' are places where people are working to protect and make use of their unique ecological and cultural assets. They are designated by UNESCO, which is the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

The Dyfi biosphere area as it stands today is too small and doesn't contain enough people for it to be considered a 'modern' biosphere area. The community is being asked whether it would like the whole valley to become the Biosphere Area and to explore what it would mean in practice.

The four local authorities and others have formed a partnership to oversee the process of deciding what to do. They have appointed Delyth Richards to be the Community Engagement Officer and ecodyfi to assist her.
