In
1993, Lanzarote was declared a 'Reserve
of the Biosphere by UNESCO, this, in a
very simple terms, means that the United
Nations recognised the Island of
Lanzarote as being of a world wide
natural place of interest. Because of
this status it ensures
that the natural landscapes remain in
tact for future generations whilst (in
the case of Lanzarote) co-exists with
new developments and tourism.
The
Canary Islands are volcanic and young on
a planetary scale. Lanzarote is one of
oldest islands, the last volcanic
eruptions which occurred in the 18th and
19th centuries are still visible in the
island landscape today because of the
low plant cover.
Due to the relatively low altitude and
gentle relief, the island does not catch
the humidity of the trade winds, and
rainfall is only some 115 mm/year, abd
with virtually no heavy industry on the island air pollution
is minimal.
The relative harsh volcanic environment
has been adapted by human ingenuity to
make highly specialised agricultural
landscapes whilst ensuring that
conservation measures are practised to
preserve the Islands natural and fragile
ergonomic systems.
The south of the island is dominated by
the spectacular volcanoes which resulted
from the eruptions on the 18th century .
The volcanoes in the north are much older and the plant life and
appearance of the landscape are quite different. It is worth noting
that despite being a volcanic island there has been no loss of life
directly resulting from volcanic activity on the island in recorded
history. The volcanoes are of the Hawaiian, or Stromboli, type which
normally give ample warning over weeks,
or even months, of impending eruption.
The the island is constantly
monitored enabling scientists to watch
for any change in
volcanic activity.
Under the influence of the celebrated
local artist César Manrique, priority
has been given to blend tourist
infrastructure with the beautiful but
inhospitable environment. His vision and
skills as an artist and architect as
enabled Lanzarote to, over the last thirty
years, guide its touristic
development towards more sustainable
practices.
The Manrique
Foundation, the artists legacy, has been a major influence in maintaining
many of the Islands natural phenomena's, the foundation continues to play an
active voice to the on-going monitoring and development. Local laws make it illegal to
alter the typical Canarian buildings and
traditional building methods and materials are encouraged all over
the island. The charm and character of the little towns and villages
remains unspoiled and many of the tourist resorts have been tastefully
developed to combine the needs of the tourist trade with respect for
the island's beauty and its status as a Biospheric Zone. |
