Those who live, work, or run their businesses in the Miramare and Trieste Coast Biosphere are proud to be part of it. In this privileged territory, the rich biodiversity of the sea, the terraced landscape, the forests, cliffs, and dry grasslands of the Karst plateau form the backdrop for human activities that use natural resources without compromising them for future generations. It is a concentration of nature and culture, but also of science, research, education, and development, under the aegis of UNESCO UNESCO — a true open-air laboratory of sustainability.
