DUSHANBE, 27.09.2025 (NIAT Khovar) – The Romit Biosphere Reserve has been officially included in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. The decision was adopted on September 27 at the 37th Session of the International Coordinating Council of the Man and Biosphere Programme in Hangzhou, China.
