This diversity is due to the location of the country in the neutrophils, the presence of the Andes and the effect of the ocean’s currents on its coasts.
It is divided into 4 well-defined natural geographical zones: coast, mountain range, the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands.
In expressions of preservation, it is divided into continental Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, although such efforts are not consistently divided in the country.
Ecuador possesses 26 distinguished habitat types, each one with characteristic flora associated to altitude and precipitation levels.
Among them are three of the world’s 10 biodiversity “hot spots”, namely, the humid forests of the northwest, outside faces of the mountain range and the Amazon forests of the northeast.
Ecuador is renowned globally for its vast floristic lushness, which is still not very well known and often under threat.
