THE BIOSPHERE RESERVE

On the 28th of April 1978, UNESCO declared Montseny a biosphere reserve on the request of the managing body of the park and the Spanish Committee for the MAB (Home and Biosphere) Programme. This category has allowed Montseny to figure in different international forums, and to carry out trials of a territorial management model which extends beyond its administrative limits. In 1987, the Catalan government declared the area a natural park.
