The area around the river Dyfi is a special place to live, work and to visit - special for its people, its culture and its outstanding environment.
It hosts some of the finest examples of special landscapes and wildlife areas in Europe. And in addition has a community that cares about, and for, this special place.
The lower Dyfi Valley was first designated a Biosphere in the 1970s, but rule changes in the 1990s meant sites had to reapply under new criteria. After extensive local consultation, the Dyfi Biosphere Partnership asked UNESCO to re-register a much bigger area.
Jane Davidson, Minister for the Environment, Sustainability & Housing, announced UNESCO’s agreement in June 2009.
The Dyfi Biosphere is part of a network of sites throughout the world where information and experiences can be shared and new ideas explored.
We will work locally to showcase innovation in how local heritage, culture and economy can thrive in harmony with the natural environment.
