Manicouagan Uapishka Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in Quebec, Canada
The reserve spans 5.5 million hectares with steep cliffs, extensive boreal forests, and the Uapishka mountains forming the northern boundary.
UNESCO designated this area as a biosphere reserve in 2007 through collaboration between the Regional Tourism Association, Innu of Pessamit, and Hydro-Quebec.
The Innu Community of Pessamit maintains traditional territories within the reserve, contributing to wildlife protection and ecological preservation programs.
The Uapishka Station provides facilities for scientific research and ecological tourism activities while supporting environmental education initiatives.
Salt marshes within the reserve serve as resting habitats for over 200 migratory bird species and support woodland caribou populations.
