	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Canary Islands dry woodlands and forests (PA1203)
		The seas surrounding the islands are cool because of a current flowing north past the islands from cold southern latitudes.
		Once the alisios reach the northern parts of the higher Canary Islands, this moisture is trapped by the dense laurisilva and fayal-brezal (heath) vegetation on the mountain slopes.
		Low-lying islands with elevations under 750 m receive no rain from the passing alisios so that habitats and climate here are drier and similar to the southern parts of the higher islands.

		In this respect, the islands are extremely vulnerable, as their small size increases the effects of disruptions.
		It is therefore essential to implement an action program for the Mediterranean islands to protect their flora, habitats and landscapes within the framework of an overall strategy linking environmental protection, sustainable development, and benefits to local people.
		This conservation strategy for island plants and habitats is intended to provide one of the basic components of an overall biodiversity conservation program covering the entire Mediterranean Basin, in order to guarantee sustainable development and to help combat existing or potential threats such as climate change and desertification.
