Conservation
Over 800 species of plants are hosted in the mesic forest that covers the mountains, with 35% being endemic. Fauna includes five species of bats, numerous birds (notably the Bee hummingbird), as well as the Yellow-Striped Pygmy Eleuth (Eleutherodactylus limbatus), one of the smallest frogs in the world, and various lizards such as the Anolis luteogulartis.
