The Canary Islands are included in the Mediterranean Basin as one of the thirty-four most interesting hotspots <\/a> in the world. This term, coined by environmentalist Norman Myers<\/a>, refers to the places in the planet where we can find the largest number of endemic species, unique to that area, and whose natural habitat is endangered or vulnerable.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons the Canary Islands have been included in Norman Myers\u2019 list is the presence of an important ornithological biodiversity that is threatened, in which several endemic species of the islands are included. This distinctive feature, along with other social, cultural and natural values of the islands, makes them the perfect destination to develop ornithological tourism.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
