Lanzarote, the most volcanic island in the Canary Islands, was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993, recognizing its exemplary model of sustainable development within the Archipelago.
With over 43% of its territory protected, Lanzarote is a testament to the island’s commitment to conservation, which includes the Chinijo Archipelago, one of the most important natural spaces in the region.
Lanzarote's efforts to protect its environment stem not only from the scientific significance of its volcanic activity but also from its exceptional floral and faunal diversity. The Famara massif, located in the north of Lanzarote, is home to an extraordinary concentration of botanical endemisms, with the highest number per square kilometer found across all of Europe. This unique environment provides a rare opportunity to study the island's diverse ecosystem, where plants and animals have evolved to thrive in its harsh volcanic landscape.
Lanzarote’s blend of volcanic beauty and commitment to sustainable practices makes it a key destination for both nature lovers and environmentalists alike.
