Our application


The Dyfi Biosphere Partnership sent its application for re-registration to UNESCO in January 2008.

It contains detailed information about the valley, its natural and cultural heritage and its people. There are also initial suggestions as to how the community can get involved and benefit from the opportunities presented.
We expect UNESCO to approve to this Nomination by November 2008.
