back to home: Island Info    The Lanzarote Landscape and the Biosphere Reserve back to home: Main Site
 

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.
