Reserva de la Biosfera de Lanzarote

Historical milestone · Yaiza, Lanzarote, Las Palmas

UNESCO declared Lanzarote a Biosphere Reserve on 7 October 1993, the first whole island in the world to receive this designation together with Menorca, under a new strategy of the MaB programme to protect environmentally valuable territories under heavy human pressure. This designation is distinct from the World Heritage List and does not mean the island is inscribed on it.
