Frequently asked questions

How many threatened species are in Haiti?
Haiti has 532 threatened species recorded on SpeciesRadar — 180 of those are Critically Endangered, facing an extremely high risk of extinction. The figures combine IUCN Red List data with national red list assessments where available.
How many Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable species does Haiti have?
Of the 532 threatened species in Haiti, 180 are Critically Endangered, 172 are Endangered, and 180 are Vulnerable. Together these three IUCN Red List categories make up the "threatened" total.
What is the most endangered species in Haiti?
Among the 180 Critically Endangered species in Haiti, Giant Hispaniolan Galliwasp (Caribicus anelpistus) is one of the most at-risk — featured prominently on the country dashboard. The full list of Critically Endangered species is filterable on the Species tab.
What protected areas exist in Haiti?
SpeciesRadar does not yet catalogue protected areas for Haiti. Where available, protected-area data is drawn from the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and national designations.
Which animal and plant groups are most threatened in Haiti?
The most affected groups in Haiti, by number of threatened species, are plants (288), reptiles (91), and amphibians (58). The full taxonomic breakdown is shown on the country dashboard.
What are the biggest threats to wildlife in Haiti?
The leading threats to threatened species in Haiti are logging & wood harvesting, annual & perennial non-timber crops, habitat shifting & alteration, and invasive non-native/alien species/diseases. Each threat is mapped to the species it affects in the country's threat breakdown.
How many threatened species are found only in Haiti?
Haiti has 287 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 Haiti's threatened species have declining populations?
365 of Haiti'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 Haiti compare to other countries for threatened species?
Haiti ranks #70 of 253 countries by number of threatened species, and accounts for roughly 0.95% of all threatened species tracked worldwide. Threat is geographically concentrated, so a high rank reflects both rich biodiversity and intense pressure on it.
Where does the data for Haiti come from, and can I download it?
SpeciesRadar draws on the IUCN Red List, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the World Database on Protected Areas, and national red lists. Every table on the Haiti profile — species, national red list, and protected areas — can be downloaded as a CSV spreadsheet or a branded PDF report.
