Reserva de la Biosfera de Fuerteventura

Historical milestone · Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura, Las Palmas

UNESCO declared the whole of Fuerteventura, together with its surrounding waters, a Biosphere Reserve on 26 May 2009, at the 21st session of the International Coordinating Council of the MaB programme held on the South Korean island of Jeju. The reserve covers 353,500.6 hectares, just over half of them marine, and recognises the sustainable management of a territory with scarce resources; this designation is distinct from the World Heritage List.
