Due
to Ecuador’s special geographical localization, plant life is
exuberant
and typical of humid tropical forests in the lowlands, and is
characterized by huge
and diverse amount of flora and fauna. The Ecuadorian Amazon is
home
to
more than 250 species of trees per acre, 600 species of fish
and mo re
than
250
species of amphibians and
reptiles and over 1,000 species of colorful
birds.
The Galapagos Islands were
declared as Mankind’s Patrimony due to the very special ecosystems
that live on
the Islands.*
