Corsica is home to a diverse range of wildlife, thanks to its varied landscapes that include mountains, forests, and coastal areas. The island hosts unique species such as the Corsican mouflon, a wild sheep that roams the rugged terrain, and the Corsican nuthatch, a small bird found in its pine forests. The surrounding Mediterranean Sea is rich in marine life, including various fish species and sea turtles. Corsica's natural parks, like Parc Naturel Régional de Corse, play a crucial role in conserving these habitats and protecting the island's biodiversity.
