Noosa Biosphere Reserve

The reserve spans 150,000 hectares of diverse ecosystems, including littoral rainforests, lake systems, coastal dune heaths, and mountainous zones reaching 450 meters in elevation.

In 2007, UNESCO designated this area as a biosphere reserve, integrating it into the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves for sustainable development.

The reserve maintains strong connections with indigenous communities who share traditional ecological knowledge and sustainable land management practices through generations.

Visitors can explore extensive walking trails, national parks, and coastal ecosystems while participating in activities such as swimming, kayaking, and guided nature tours.

The reserve operates as a living laboratory where 60,000 residents participate in research projects about shark ecology, marine species, and conservation indicators.
