The Réunion National Park on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean has been France's ninth national park since 2007 .
The park, whose core area takes up a good 40% of the island, was founded to protect endemic animal and plant species on the island of Réunion . In real estate, there are three times more endemic species on Reunion than on Hawaii and five times more endemic species than on the Galapagos Islands .
In 2010, the Réunion National Park was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list under the title: Pitons, cirques et remparts de l'île de La Réunion (Eng. "Summit, basin and steep slopes of the island of Réunion") .
The national park includes both the extinct volcano Piton des Neiges and the three basins Cirque de Cilaos , Cirque de Mafate and Cirque de Salazie , as well as the active volcano Piton de la Fournaise on the south side of the island.
