For Young Humans in the biosphere
What is this Biosphere really? Well for a start, it is NOT a big sphere. Nor is it only just the national parks or bushland around Noosa. The Biosphere is our entire region: Noosa, the beach towns, and the hinterland towns, such as Cooroy, Pomona and Kin Kin.
The Biosphere is about our way of life and how each of us look after the environment. It's about the balance between humans and our natural surroundings. But it's also about the people who live in the region. It includes our schools, shops and homes.
Further information on the Biosphere Reserve can be found here >>
