Nominate for Biosphere awards

The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation has opened entries to the Noosa Biosphere Awards 2022, recognising sustainability excellence in the Noosa Shire.

In its second year, the Noosa Biosphere Awards celebrate the individuals, organisations and businesses making a difference in the community to maintain a balance between people and nature.

An initiative of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation NBRF Chair Fiona Berkin said the awards aim to recognise solutions from within the Noosa Biosphere Reserve that address the global challenges of climate change, sustainable development and biodiversity conservation.

“The awards recognise people who are making a difference in our community and are leading the way. The awards celebrate local projects, products and service to the community that align with the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere programme and more broadly address the UN Sustainable Development Goals,” she said.

Entries are open to individuals, organisations and businesses based in or operating in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve (the Noosa Shire).

Award categories recognise sustainability excellence across Land, Water, Wildlife, and People & Economy.

Entries close on 30 September. Nominate or enter the Noosa Biosphere Awards at www.noosabiosphere.org.au/awards.
