Lanzarote Information - lanzarote car hire

Lanzarote was declarated by the UNESCO reserve of the Biosphere in the year 1993. As a Reserve of the Biosphere the island is committed to the preservation of nature and to practice a model of development that prevents destruction and degradation of its values. For this reason the island government is trying to stop the building of new tourist accommodations and asks for your collaboration in avoiding the negative effects that tourism has on the island.

Lanzarote is different and peculiar. You must bear in mind that its volcanic origin, its desert like climate and the value of its nature make it extremely fragile. Therefore we all have to take opportunity to active contribute to this difficult and passionate task.

The population of the island has always felt need to preserve and maintain the cleanliness of the surroundings. Even a simple foot print on recent material takes months to disappear.

Lanzarote reckons with flora unique in the world, but very scarce. Recently a solid refuse classification plant has been opened in Zonzamas. The fauna protection requires preservation of its dwelling. Do not disturb the birds and do not go near their nests.

The beaches constitute one of the attractions of the island. Do not allow ribbish to accumulate. The sea is one of our riches. If you dive do not destroy algae and do not capture live species from marine depths.
