Welcome to The Great Sandy Man and the Biosphere
A Very Special Place!
A remarkable region, the Great Sandy includes many of Australia’s iconic natural features, internationally recognised as having significant cultural
and conservation value.
Designated in 2009, under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere program, the Great Sandy Biosphere builds on the understanding that preserving our natural
resources is integral to addressing the the future impacts of climate change and other global challenges.
Functions of a Biosphere
The Great Sandy Biosphere addresses three complimentary functions:
Conservation –
Promoting and contributing to the conservation of landscapes, habitats, ecosystems and the well being and biodiversity of the species within them.
Development –
Fostering economic and human development that produces income but is socially responsible and ecologically sustainable.
Knowledge and Education –
Advancing the understanding of processes that encourage sustainable development through research, monitoring and education and creating a knowledge
base that adds to a global database of sustainable best practice.
