Several organisations have been recognised at this year's UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man awards. 

The awards, which celebrate sustainable development, conservation and education, went to Capital International Group, The Children's Centre, PlasticBusters, Dawn Colley from the Manx Wildlife Trust and Tanya Anderson of Lovely Greens. 

Winners were chosen by a panel including representatives from government, the private and third sectors.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle, Chair of UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, said the entrants have all made a fantastic contribution to the island's sustainable future.
