What has sought to permanently is to find a balance between tourism development and conservation of the delicate island ecosystem. In 1993 UNESCO declared Lanzarote Biosphere Reserve, in an effort to raise public awareness about the need for environmental conservation. Specifically, the fact that Lanzarote is a Biosphere Reserve is a way to secure funds to achieve economic development in these areas without damaging nature.

The island of Lanzarote is distinctly mountainous and volcanic terrain alternating high geological antiquity with mountains and volcanoes of more recent creation. Timanfaya is a volcanic area, which holds the remains of major eruptions in place. The area is of geological interest, marked by the eruptions occurred in the 1730 and 1736. This has created the Timanfaya National Park, about 50 km ² which is about 25 volcanoes.

Human ingenuity has managed to recapture the lands that had been devastated by the constant volcanic eruptions in the region.

Subsequently, the lapilli are placed on the earth again as it has the property of allowing water infiltration and retain moisture in the environment. Also around the vines were built low walls whose mission is to stop the prevailing winds, creating a very particular landscape, such as in the La Geria.
