Biomes / Ecosystems of El Salvador

El Salvador is located in northern Central America, where it is both the smallest and most densely populated country. Its geographic landscape features two parallel mountain ranges that cross the country with a central plateau between them and a narrow coastal plain hugging the Pacific Ocean.

The Mesoamerican Biological Corridor (MBC) is a remarkable conservation initiative in Central America that stands as a beacon of biodiversity preservation. Stretching from Mexico to Panama, this corridor encompasses a mosaic of ecosystems and is a critical link between numerous national parks, reserves, and protected areas. The MBC is a testament to the growing global awareness of preserving biodiversity and ecosystems.
