Family Travel BlogMadidi National Park: The Richest in the World
Madidi in Bolivia's Amazon Basin is the protected area with the world's largest number of birds, mammals, plants and butterfly species registered. And second in species of amphibians and reptiles.
As the most biodiverse protected area in the world it has:
- 265 mammals
- 1028 birds
- 105 reptiles
- 109 amphibians
- 314 fish
- 5515 plants
- and 1544 species and subspecies of butterflies
All present within the boundaries of the park.
The recent Identidad Madidi 3 year scientific expedition ended in January and added 1382 species to the list, over 200 were new to Bolivia and over 100 are potentially new to science!
Bolivia with its incredibly lush mineral and gas deposits has always been described as one of the richest environments on earth, but now with Madidi, it's being recognised for its abundant flora and fauna also.
