Park Leverages Its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Designation
The UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme established in 1977 promotes research, training and communications in ecosystem conservation and rational use of natural resources. In the early 1990s, the program’s focus shifted to promoting interactions of mankind with nature in terms of sustainable living, income generation and reducing poverty. The Park leverages its Champlain-Adirondack Biosphere designation (made in 1989) to increase research attention on the area as well as boosting domestic and international tourism.

Champlain Adirondack Biosphere Reserve
The region was designated in 1989. It appears to be largely about research. At the time of the designation, there was all sorts of anti-UN feeling so it is largely un-used as a marketing asset. You can find more details here.
