Biodiversity

 

Príncipe emerged about 31 million years ago. In fact it is more than twice as old as São Tomé and 6 times as old as the Galapagos Islands. As the island has never been attached to the main land a high number of endemic plant and animal species inhabit the island – species that are found only in Príncipe! With revenues from tourism Roça Belo Monte supports the conservation research projects of the conservation alliance Forever Príncipe! Forever-príncipe!
