The Wild Heart of the Americas
Bridging the Americas and dividing the oceans is a narrow strip of land carved with rivers, spiked with peaks, and draped in a thousand shades of green. Though Central America makes up less than 1% of the world’s landmass, it sustains a staggering 5% of global biodiversity throughout its rainforests, rivers, and reefs.
