ECCo 2009: Andes/Amazon

Why Andes/Amazon?

Near the equator, where the most diverse mountain range in the world rises out of the richest lowland forest on Earth, vast wild landscapes can still be protected before fragmentation and degradation take hold. This is the Andes/Amazon, a primary focus of our rapid inventories.

We also have inventoried the forests and wetlands of Cuba, a hub of unique (endemic) species.
