Dyfi Valley Biosphere Reserve

Overview

The Dyfi Valley and Aberystwyth area is a special place, in terms of the landscape, wildlife, the area's people and their language and culture, the area's history and heritage, the research that happens here, the local economy and more besides! UNESCO gave the whole area Biosphere status in 2009. The purpose of this status is to help local people benefit in the process of protecting the things that make the area special.

Thematic groups bring people together for joint action, for example tourism providers can join the Dyfi Biosphere Tourism Association, in order to take part in ground-breaking marketing and development work.
