19 Reasons why the Isle of Man is a UNESCO Biosphere region
The Isle of Man is the only nation in the world that has been awarded a Biosphere status by UNESCO as a truly special place for people and nature.
This means, on the Island we take care not only of nature and wildlife, but also our culture, heritage, and communities.
Through projects ranging from marine conservation to safeguarding our flora and fauna to enhancing space we live in, we also maintain and improve our lives in ways that respect and support our amazing environment.
The Isle of Man is a truly special place to live, read on to see why.
1. 40% of our Island is unoccupied, giving you space to breathe and take in the Manx air.

3. Our sunsets are amazing.
4. Our waters are home to an array of marine life, including seals, dolphins and basking sharks.
5. We live in a place where nature and people coexist in harmony.
6. And even our sheep love living here!
