Martinique Receives Third UNESCO Recognition

On September 16, Martinique received its 3rd UNESCO attribution for the volcanoes and forests of Montagne Pelée and the Pitons du Nord. Mount Pelée, an active but dormant volcano, is of significant importance for global biodiversity. In addition to being the cradle of modern volcanology following its deadly eruption on May 8, 1902, this entire geographical area is home to the Martinique allocate snake, and the Martinique oriole bird - both species in danger of extinction.

The first two UNESCO recognitions were awarded in 2020 for the round skiff, a traditional boat, and in 2021, by classifying the entire marine and terrestrial territory as a World Biosphere Reserve.
