Welcome and Bienvenidos to our Central America Week coverage! Below you will find links to some of our blogs and additional content that we are posting throughout the week of March 7 - 13.
This week we are excited to feature a series of articles about some of the most important landscapes the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service helps to protect in Central America, that are home to an incredibly biodiverse array of wildlife. As part of “Central America Week,” we invite you to learn more about our cornerstone strategy with Wildlife Conservation Society to protect Central America’s five largest remaining wild places. We will also be spotlighting some of the charismatic species that live in these critical habitats. Enjoy and share using the #conserveCentralAmerica #conservaAméricaCentral and #conservaCentroAmérica hashtags!
