Abstract

The state covers an area of 9.5 million hectares, of which 54% is covered by well-preserved forest. Of the total forest area, 2.7 million hectares are made up of temperate forest and 2.3 million Hectares are covered by a mixture of humid and dry tropical forest. The temperate and tropical forests of Oaxaca are incredibly diverse, biologically speaking, thanks to the state's varied topography and climatic conditions. As such, Oaxaca is home to a range of forests, including pine, mixed pine-oak, oak, lowland dry forests, as well as humid high tropical forests, cloud forests and mangrove forests. These eco-systems are currently home to approximately 50% of Mexico's plant species, 40% of its mammals, 63% of its birds species, 26% of its reptile species, and 35% of the country's amphibians.
