It has an ecosystem that’s unique in the world, namely a laurel forest. The Park retains prehistoric vegetation thanks to its temperate climate. As well as being a Biosphere Reserve thanks to its terrestrial and marine ecosystems, the island also retains its traditions and customs, some of which are thousands of years old. The Silbo Gomero, which has been declared part of the Common Heritage of Mankind, is the island’s aboriginal language used by shepherds to communicate between the steep ravines.
