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:
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Police name victim of fatal road traffic collision in Onchan
Island gives new Director of Public Health a warm welcome
Sailings to go ahead as planned
