Human Activity: Culture, Life and Community
There is a whole other side to the biosphere reserve, and that is how us humans interact with the environment. Our strong community values have delivered biosphere status and will continue to support our activities. Let’s celebrate our achievements, help our neighbours, educate each other and continue to provide a solid base from which to prosper and improve our diverse community.
Noosa Federation of Arts presents: "Biosphere. An invitation to share"
"The film was produced as a template to visually communicate with and show other Biospheres how man nurtures nature and nature nurtures man - how man and the biosphere can live in harmony to support each other, and posing the question for the future, "why wouldn't it be possible for Science and the Arts to work together to produce a better world for the future" - Meg Lawrence, NFA
Indigenous past & present
We acknowledge the important contributions of the traditional owners of this land and their custodianship of the region. Content about the Indigenous history and participation within the region is currently being developed by local Aboriginal people.
Heritage Library
The Noosa Wiki is built by our local community and celebrates our recent history. Help expand this knowledge bank, perhaps add acknowledgements for our Biosphere status.
Celebrating the Arts
The Biosphere Cultural Board volunteers aim to promote the culture and heritage of the Noosa region through recognising and supporting local initiatives.
Business in the Biosphere
The central challenge set out by the Man and the Biosphere program is that of balancing the needs of the environment with our need to live healthy and fulfilled lives within it.
The Well-being of our Community
Community well-being is largely dependent on its members’ levels of satisfaction with their circumstances and the basic necessities of living, such as work, shelter and relationships with others.
Learning and Science
The Man in the Biosphere program has ‘learning’ as one of the three primary functions of a biosphere reserve.
