Renomination of an Extended Fitzgerald River Biosphere Reserve, Western Australia

Fitzgerald River National Park Biosphere Reserve was originally listed by UNESCO in 1978 following consultation with the Australian and Western Australian Authorities (CALM 1991a). However, it has not been formally recognised by UNESCO as a fully functional Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO 2003, Fry 2010) according to the Seville Criteria (UNESCO 1996). As a result, this re-nomination has been undertaken with the funding assistance of the Australian and Western Australian Governments through South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc.
