UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 1983, in Spain. The La Palma Biosphere Reserve in the Canary Islands was extended and renamed in 2002, with the former Los Tiles Biosphere Reserve now constituting the core area. The biosphere reserve now encompasses the entire island, which contains a wide range of representative habitats, reflecting the transition from the coast up to the mountain peaks.
