Isle of Wight Biosphere

Following a two-day visit to the Island, the Historic Places Panel declared the Isle of Wight faces a number of problems including empty shops, buildings in disrepair and traffic congestion. They make several recommendations to the council.

The Isle of Wight MP said, “It’s really important that we protect our beautiful wildflowers on the Island. Not only do they enhance the beauty of our Island, but they also provide a vital habitat for wildlife.”

Always a great afternoon out, exploring wildlife under the pier in Ryde with ecology and environmental experts. All welcome.

With our wildlife at a crucial tipping point, the Wildlife Trust needs help from local communities to prevent further decline and tip the balance in nature’s favour.

The plan is to discuss strategy, form working groups and consider creating smaller affinity groups. All welcome.

Leader of the council said that given a climate emergency has been declared by the IWC, "I think it is important we make changes where and when we can".

Following the meeting, the spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Green Party said what was most concerning was the poor quality of the debate in the council chamber.

Keen gardeners across the Isle of Wight are now waiting for the shortlisted gardens to be announced.

Climate change campaigners are mobilising in Ryde this coming weekend (6th July) for a further public demonstration of support for action to tackle the Climate Emergency.

The men in suits and police presence might have been a giveaway, but then Isle of Wight MP, Bob Seely, tweet from inside the venue confirmed it.

Becoming an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve means the Isle of Wight is recognised as one of the best places in the world to explore sustainable way people interact with natural environment.
