Belize's wildlife
Due to Belize's small population and lack of industry, most of the country's forests have remained untouched, allowing its rich and diverse wildlife to prosper. Although Belize is relatively small, it contains a stunning variety of wildlife in a wide range of habitats. The country's savannahs and lowlands are home to rare waterfowl such as the jabiru stork and the roseate spoonbill, its forests provide a refuge for tapirs, pumas and numerous tropical birds, while the mountainous regions ensure a niche for elusive jaguars and other endangered cats.
