Redberry Lake Biosphere ReserveRedberry Lake Biosphere Reserve was designated by the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a biosphere reserve under their Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Program on January 21, 2000 in Paris. The designation formally recognizes the region’s commitment to the conservation of biological diversity, the pursuit of sustainable economic development and the creation of opportunities for education, research and experimental approaches to improved land management. The three functions of a biosphere reserve are conservation of biodiversity, sustainable development, and capacity building through scientific research, monitoring, education and training. The only school within the Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve, Hafford Central School, is the first school in Saskatchewan to participate in the UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet).
