Description
From
coral reefs and lowland rainforests to pine savannas, grasslands and high mountain
forest, Central America is home to some of the richest forest and marine
ecosystems on earth. Although the region contains less than one percent of the
world's land surface, because of the variety of its habitats and its role as a
bridge between North and South America, it possesses a disproportionate share
about 7 percent of our planet's biodiversity. Unfortunately, despite tremendous
progress over the last two decades, Central America remains one of the most
threatened biodiversity hotspots due to one of the highest land conversion and
deforestation rates in both Latin America and the world.
