I realise that the Dyfi biosphere isn’t a project as such, but ecodyfi and the people who pushed for the ‘biosphere’ status should be doing something to preserve its status and preserve its biodiversity.

The Dyfi Biospheres aims state:

“The Dyfi Biosphere will be recognised and respected internationally, nationally and locally for the diversity of its natural beauty, heritage and wildlife, and for its people’s efforts to make a positive contribution to a more sustainable world. It will be a self confident, healthy, caring and bilingual community, supported by a strong locally-based economy.”

Maybe they don’t / won’t actually do anything to help maintain this status, but I’m a person within the Dyfi Biopshere so it would be nice if they would help with my “efforts to make a positive contribution to a more sustainable world”.

Maybe someone there should be encouraging local business (or even national businesses) to provide beehive grants for people within the ‘biosphere’. I’m sure it would be a good publicity stunt for the businesses involved as well.

It’s unlikely to happen I know, but there’s no harm in trying to get some help to buy the necessary equipment.

On another note, maybe I’ll be able to charge a premium for my honey as it comes from a UNESCO Biosphere! 🙂

Dyfi Biosphere isn’t a project it’s only a designated zone really, I don’t think that they really ‘do’ stuff, I’m not even sure if there’s community representation at all.
