How many threatened species are found only in Honduras?
Honduras has 143 threatened species that are endemic — found nowhere else on Earth. Because their entire global population depends on this one country, they are especially vulnerable to local habitat loss.
How many of Honduras's threatened species have declining populations?
322 of Honduras's threatened species have populations that are still declining. Reversing these trends is the central focus of the conservation work the country dashboard tracks.
How does Honduras compare to other countries for threatened species?
