Ecuador
is home to the Galapagos, the place that inspired
Charles Darwin´s theory of evolution and which he
considered a wonderful demonstration of natural
selection due to its high number of variations both
within and across species. The Galapagos Islands are
home to many rare species some of which cannot be
found anywhere else in the world.
Ecuador has four regions: the Galapagos Islands
located off the coast; the coastal region with its
beautiful beaches; the Andean mountains with its
high peaks and stunning sights and “El Oriente”,
Ecuador’s part of the Amazon. Ecuador is considered
one of the most diverse places on earth because of
its different regions and the many different types
of flora and fauna found here.
The Ecuadorian Amazon has the most bird species
diversity in Ecuador with over 690 species listed
below 500 meters. There are approximately 2,000
species of birds in the Amazon (including all 8
Amazonian countries). Our own list is increasing and
we have 18 species that are endemic to this region,
42 boreal species (northern migrants) and 15 Austral
species (southern migrants). In the area of San Isla
and Pañacocha, there are 27 species that associate
with ant swarms at different levels of the forest
and 9 of these are professional ant followers.
Ecuador is also known for its high species diversity
in mammals, amphibians and reptiles, fish, insects,
etc. One may find over 10 species of monkeys, 2
species of dolphins, 5 species of wildcats, 89
species of frogs, 49 species of snakes, over 500
species of fish and at least 100,000 species of
insects including 1,200 species of moths and
butterflies only in our Amazon region.
