DUNAS DE CORRALEJO E ISLA DE LOBOS NATURAL PARK: Established by decree in 1983. Embraces 2, 482 hectares of a dune system and a small volcanic island with xerophytic vegetation. Highest point at 127 m; one permanent ranger in the field. Lizards and geckos common in Lobos, but less common in the dunes at Corralejo. MASPALOMAS NATURE SITE: Has a provisional protection status due to Royal decree 1741 of June 25, 1982. No permanent ranger in the field. 328 hectares of coastal dunes with palms and Tamarix vegetation. Very interesting lizard population; skinks and geckos occasional. The site where Gallotia aff. simonyi survives in Hierro falls inside a public forest — under ICONA's tutelage — and access has been prohibited since 1975. Permanent vigilance from outside is maintained. However, a project for the dec- laration of the whole zone including the Roques de Salmor is under admini- strative process and ready for public hearing. This future Strict Reserve ("Reserva Integral") will probably join the Biogenetic Reserves Network of the Council of Europe. Action for the future The situation of the Canarian reptile fauna is not as dangerous as that of other vertebrate groups, or even plants. Actions will be taken in the immediate future to try to recover Hierro's Giant lizard from its extremely endangered status, and its biotope is in the process of being declared a Strict Nature Reserve. Legisla- tion will be actualized soon, and natural habitat protection is entering the general process of land use planning10'. 10) The Land Use Act,
