Caribbean endemics refer to plant and animal species that are unique to the Caribbean islands and are not found anywhere else in the world. This biodiversity is a result of the region's varied ecosystems, including rainforests, coral reefs, and mangroves. Examples of Caribbean endemics include the Jamaican Tody, a small bird, and the Haitian endemic tree frog, which thrive in their specific habitats. The Caribbean islands' isolation has led to the evolution of these unique species over millions of years. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these endemics from threats such as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. Preserving the rich biodiversity of the Caribbean is essential for maintaining ecological balance and cultural heritage.
