The natural gift of the volcanoes, the special position of the islands on the globe and their climate marked by the trade winds have created a privileged natural environment and an object of study.<BR> <BR> With 145 Protected Nature Areas, 40% of the archipelago's surface is protected under one or other of the different levels of protection established by the Law of Canarian Nature Areas and equally unique flora and fauna reside in these aforementioned areas.<BR> <BR> As well as the above, the marine environment provides a unique natural home, with a multitude of indigenous species. However, not only are the archipelago's surface and waters unique and protected but its clear skies are too. The land, sea and sky together form an equal and fragile landscape: a landscape which forms the backdrop to life in the Canaries; a landscape which informs us of the past and on which the future depends.</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(<EM><STRONG><A onclick="window.open('http://www.canarias.org/eng/natural/naturaleza.html','','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=770,height=540')" href="javascript:;">More information</A></STRONG></EM>)</font></p> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font> </td> <td width="20"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="130" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"><img src="img/tranparent.gif" width="120" height="8"></td> <td height="10"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="130" bgcolor="#996633"></td> <td align="center" bgcolor="#996633" class="lienpetit"> </td> </tr> </table><a href="sitemap/sitemap.htm" class="sitemap"><font size="1" color="#F5F5F5">site map</font></a> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
