Protected Areas
Present day Lanzarote can rightly claim to be an island shaped by its enormous, diverse natural heritage, accommodating a sustained tourist activity which respects and conserves the environment.
Besides the enormous scientific value of the volcanic activity on Lanzarote, equally important are its natural resources such as the variety of marine flora and fauna and the unique territorial plant life and wildlife. The cliffs of Famara in the north of the island are home to a huge number of endemic plants which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. There are more botanical endemisms per square kilometre here than in the whole of Europe
