Updating New Cumnock on local biosphere development
31 JanuaryHere’s the latest update from the Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve team, Nic & Ed
As we have previously reported, the formal application to UNESCO for the designation of the existing Merrick Kells / Silver Flowe and Cairnsmore of Fleet Biosphere as the first ‘new style’Biosphere in Scotland is now being considered by the United Nations administration. We hope to hear of our success, or otherwise, sometime in July 2012.
The ‘Building Opportunities in the Biosphere’ (BOB) team of Nic Coombey and Ed Forrest, both employed by SUP, are working alongside communities, businesses and agencies in the proposed Biosphere area to develop ideas and projects that develop and promote approaches to truly integrated and sustainable development. If you would like them to come and talk to you or your group they can be contacted at: nic@sup.org.ukand ed@sup.org.uk
