Fango Valley Biosphere Reserve encompasses the Fango catchment area, a mountain stream flowing into the Gulf of Galeria, Corsica. It extends from the Mediterranean Sea up to an altitude of 2,556 meters, covering the whole mid-elevation range of a Mediterranean valley.

Flowing through majestic surroundings, the River Fango is known for its crystal clear water (which has excellent chemical composition and is low in mineral salts), and for its endemic trout. The mountainous upper valley is home to the European Mouflon, the Bearded Vulture and the Golden Eagle. The Holm Oak forests of the Fango Valley are remarkable groves considered to be amongst the oldest in the Mediterranean. The mouth of the Fango River is a mosaic of biologically rich habitats, including many species of birds, amphibians and reptiles.

The Biosphere reserve is one of the PNRC’s eleven operational areas.
The Management Committee, which coordinates local stakeholders, is in contact with the Scientific Council to encourage development of a research component, with applications in habitat and local resource management, as well as sustainable development.
The Management Committee, chaired by the PNRC, includes representatives of the three municipalities, as well as key organisations, administrative bodies, associations, and local business owners in the valley. The Help guide for managing the Reserve was developed based on propositions from four now permanent working groups: Water / Forests–Fires / Agropastoralism–Land ownership / Tourism–Heritage.
