The Neotropics boasts of about 3,751 bird species which makes it the most biodiverse region in the world. This represents 90 families, 28 of which are endemic to this region. It spans over the Americas and the Caribbean with its richest diversity found in Central and South America.There is one Caribbean Island that have been a well-kept secret which rivals its mainland counterpart’s diversity, and it is Trinidad & Tobago. Trinidad being just about 50 x 39 miles and Tobago 25 x 5 miles (totaling 1,981 square miles), combined they boast of about 489 bird species representing 74 different families.
Sir Gerard Ramsawak will be talking about this rich diversity of neotropical birds, its accessibility and the rich flora and fauna of this twin island state to support it. He will highlight some of the sought after species and what makes them so unique. He will also talk about the logistics of Trinidad and Tobago as bird watching destinations, featuring some of the best birding spots.
