Biosphere Reserves

Biosphere Reserves are areas of terrestrial and coastal/marine ecosystems or a combination thereof, which are internationally recognized within the framework of UNESCO’s Programme on Man and the Biopshere (MAB). Each Biosphere Reserve promotes solutions reconciling the conservation of biodiversity with its sustainable use. Today there are 669 biosphere reserves in 120 countries belonging to a World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

Wikipedia is one of the most used educational resources in the world, receiving over 15 billion page views per month. Wikipedia lets us work together to educate people about the natural world and how we can live sustainably. You can take photos of any subject within the Biosphere Reserves including species, landscapes, biodiversity, climate change, sustainable development and cultural diversity.

You can also help more people to take part by:

• Sharing this Facebook message.
• Retweeting this tweet.
• Contact the Biosphere Reserves in your country to tell them about the competition.
• Share the competition with photography clubs, universities and any other groups you think may be interested. The competition is an amazing opportunity for communities and visitors to Biosphere Reserves to create photographs of the sites and learn more about them.

There are many other ways for Biosphere Reserves to work with Wikimedia, for more information please click here. A press release for this competition is available on the UNESCO website here and on the Wikimedia Foundation website here.
