United Nations Day was marked yesterday by exploring the Island's opportunity to win global recognition as a world biosphere reserve.

He gave an insider's view of the organisation in conjunction with the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
Professor Bridgewater says the acknowledgement could be very important:
