About the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve
The Long Point area, comprising 26,250 hectares, was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in April, 1986, the third to be named in Canada and one of only 18 biosphere reserves found in this country today. It provides an example of the Great Lakes coastal ecosystem and a unique blend of habitats. Its delicate dunes and marshes teem with songbirds, spawning fish, turtles and frogs.
The Long Point Biosphere Reserve supports a greater number of plants and animals, and the highest wildlife population densities than any other ecosystem in Canada.
The Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation promotes research, monitoring, community outreach and education, partnerships, and projects that support the goals of biodiversity, conservation and sustainable communities in the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve. We exchange information and work collaboratively with the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association and other biosphere reserves in Canada and internationally.

- Annual Research and Conservation Conference- Cleaning Up Norfolk- Naturehood Educational Program- The Long Point Causeway Improvement Project- Amazing Places Sustainable Tourism- Biodiversity Monitoring- Maya the Blandings Turtle Website Tour Through the Biosphere- Advancing Data Management with Ontario's Priority Place- Online Research Document Library
