This is an island that forms part of Canarias, it’s the
second largest island with greatest extension in the
archipelago. It’s complexity of ecosystems allows it
to integrate deserts and coastlines, as well as semi
dry zones, where a wide range of species inhabit it,
including sea mammals such as sperm whale and
dolphins, as well as sea turtles in danger of extinc-
tion that hatch their eggs on the cost and an im-
mense quantity of terrestrial animals and birds.
This Biosphere Reserve is also a geo-paleon-
tological research investigation center, it’s vital
for the planet and it’s also a source of renewable
energies, for example: eolic and
solar.It’s model is
an example on behalf of the Directive of the Euro-
pean Union in Renewable Energies.

income in this for this sustainable model. It’s
biosphere is composed of 1,660 Km
2
, with a vir-
gin litoral of 100 Km and 50 of paleontological
deposits , as well as natural monuments such as

Lobos - which is full of sea lions- and Corralejo,
where ecotourism and investigation are fusioned
