Central America offers an amazing diversity of ecosystems, from rainforests to volcanic peaks and two oceanfronts that support a rich variety of mammals, birds and reptiles. As a land bridge between two major continents, it hosts thousands of different butterflies, reefs teaming with fish and corals, and more bird species than in the United States and Canada combined. The only wildlife travel guide to the region, this book covers Belize, Costa Rica and Panama, including hundreds of brilliant photographs and birdwatching information for experts and beginners.
