Canada is home to 19 UNESCO biosphere regions, where communities and nature work together to support conservation and sustainable development. Many of these regions are connected by walking and cycling routes, offering a direct way to experience the landscapes that shape them.

Across Canada’s biosphere regions, each landscape reflects a distinct connection between nature, culture, and conservation. That might include limestone caves along the Niagara Escarpment, waterfalls like Cameron Falls flowing over billion-year-old rock, or terrain shaped by a meteorite impact over 350 million years ago.

Coastal regions reveal a different perspective, from the daily shift of the Bay of Fundy’s tides to the sheltered waters of Bras d’Or Lake, while on the Pacific coast, ancient rainforest meets a rugged shoreline in Clayoquot Sound. Each setting is defined by the landscapes, wildlife, and communities found within it.

Whether you’re exploring on foot or by bike, many of Canada’s biosphere regions can be experienced along trails that pass through or alongside them. These routes offer a closer look at the environments and communities that define each region, and a meaningful way to explore Canada’s natural diversity.
