The National Park is an important refuge for rare species of the Andes, like mountain tapir and spectacled bear. | WIKI |
About 300-400 bird species inhabit the Park,[2] and it has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. | WIKI |
In 2016, a new Pristimantis species was described from the park's cloud forest. | WIKI |
Criterion (ix): The presence of an active volcano means that primary succession is a continual process which influences species composition in a number of special ecosystems in the park, including rainforest, cloud forest, grasslands and moorlands (pxc3xa1ramos). | UNESCO |
For example, many plant species in the pxc3xa1ramo, in particular bunch grasses and cushion plants, have adapted to cold weather conditions and have evolved specialised structures for water capture. | UNESCO |
Although the flora is poorly known, at least 3,000 species are expected to occur in the park and, given the special conditions, probably exhibit a high degree of endemism. | UNESCO |
The park comprises two Endemic Bird Areas, the Central Andean pxc3xa1ramo (home to some 11 bird species of restricted range), and the Ecuador-Peru East Andes (home to 17 restricted-range species). | UNESCO |
With its different ecosystems, the park has the best and least disturbed assemblage of native species in the region. | UNESCO |
At least 3,000 species of flowering plants are expected to occur in the park and recent reports describe 107 mammal, 430 bird, 33 amphibian, 14 reptile and 17 fish species. | UNESCO |
Other emblematic species include the Andean Condor, Andean Cock-of-the-rock, Jaguar and Giant Anteater, classified as vulnerable because its populations are declining in many parts of its range. | UNESCO |
The Lowland Tapir, another vulnerable rainforest species, only survives in undisturbed areas. | UNESCO |
