| Established on 5 March 2007, the park protects the endemic ecosystems of Les Hauts, Rxc3xa9union's mountainous interior, and covers around 42% of the island. | WIKI |
| Notable endemic species include the Rxc3xa9union cuckooshrike and the Reunion Island day gecko. | WIKI |
| The park's volcanic landscape, including the Piton de la Fournaise, an active volcano, was designated a World Heritage site in 2010, under the name "Pitons, cirques and remparts of Reunion Island". | WIKI |
| The Rxc3xa9union Environmental Charter and the Regional Development Plan formally established the principle that a park should be created in Les Hauts, the mountainous interior of the island. | WIKI |
| Between August and September 2004, the plan was the subject of a public survey, organised by the prefect in the 24 communes of the island. | WIKI |
| On 1 August 2010, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee acknowledged the value of the natural sites within Rxc3xa9union National Park, and included the "Pitons, cirques and remparts of Rxc3xa9union Island" in its World Heritage list. | WIKI |

| The isolation of the island and its diversity of habitats and microclimates have favoured the diversification of a highly endemic flora: Of the 850 known native plant species, 230 are endemic, and half of those are endangered. | WIKI |
| Nearly as many exotic plants as native ones, 830, have become naturalised on the island, and 50 are considered invasive, threatening native flora and habitats. | WIKI |
