Island welcomes 200th Biosphere Partner

Collective efforts to give the Island a sustainable future have reached a key milestone.

UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man has now reached 200 community partners after Kestrel Insurance became the most recent local firm to join the cause.

Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, says organisations who've been joining the pledge have been able to drive positive change whilst having a positive effect on the planet.

Some of the steps biosphere partners have taken include reducing energy consumption and waste, reducing the amount of single-use plastics and committing staff time to projects which benefit the environment.
