Breathtaking wildlife

Haiti is a biodiverse paradise with a turbulent past. Only about 1% of Haiti's primary woods are still unaltered as a result of extensive deforestation. Haiti is still one of the most active locations in the Caribbean to see wildlife, despite environmental degradation. It becomes obvious why this lovely nation draws nature lovers when you visit Haiti and discover its nine life zones. The varied environments of Haiti support thousands of different species, from cloud forests and high mountains to raging streams. The majority of the fauna in Haiti is endemic, meaning it can only be found there or on Hispaniola. Whether you enjoy the water or are an enthusiastic birdwatcher, Haiti will present you with a variety of species you won't find at home.

Haiti is a haven for birdwatchers with its 28 endemic bird species. The little country in the Caribbean has the second-highest number of birds in the area and is home to several hotspots for bird biodiversity. Bring your binoculars whether exploring Haiti's beaches or mountains to see dozens of vibrant bird species. The Hispaniolan Solenodon, one of the strangest mammals in the entire Caribbean, is also found in Haiti. The little, hairy creature injects poison but rarely emerges into the open. There is an effort to save this unusual poisonous species from extinction because of its endangered condition.
