What is North Devons Biosphere Reserve trying to achieve?
North Devon’s Biosphere Reserve has 8 Strategic aims that lie within the 3 fundamental, complementary functions of a UNSECO Biosphere Reserve (Conservation, Learning and Research and Sustainable Development) that support the core purpose of ‘testing and demonstrating sustainable development on a regional scale’. These 8 aims are set out in the Reserve’s Strategy for 2008-2012, put together by a wide variety of interested parties. The accompanying Action Plan sets out a portfolio of actions identified by the Biosphere Reserve Partnership to address those aims.
