Long Point Biosphere Reserve

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 1986, in Canada. The Long Point Biosphere Reserve is in southern Canada on the shores of Lake Erie. The area comprises a rich mosaic of ecological systems associated with erosion-deposit sand spit formations around the Laurentian Great Lakes, as well as some of the largest remaining forest tracts in Carolinian Canada. The variety of habitats supports a rich flora and fauna, including a waterfowl staging area and a migration stopover of continental importance for land birds.
