Delegates discussing how to make the most of status
The Island is hosting a summit for members of a UNESCO body from around the British Isles today (17 June).
Biosphere Reserve status was awarded to the Isle of Man three months ago, for having an outstanding environment in which to live and work.
Representatives from other biosphere sites in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland will hold their biannual meeting in Government Offices, to discuss how to make the most of their UNESCO status.
They'll also be given a tour of Tynwald and shown around some of the sights of the Island.
Environment Minister Richard Ronan says it's important we make the most of a very special accolade:
Garff Commissioners hosting offshore windfarm drop in session today
No harbour basin work planned in Laxey this summer
Public invited to suggest new brownfield site for potential re-development
Anthony Allen re-elected as chair at Onchan Commissioners
Police urge public to check person's identification if claiming to be a police officer
