Cuba is an island teeming with exotic biodiversity: from the world’s tiniest hummingbird, to thousands of migrating crabs, to the jumping crocodiles of the Zapata swamp. Decades of a socialist, conservation-minded government,American embargoes and minimal development have left the island virtually unchanged for 50 years. As international relations ease, what will become of this wildlife paradise?
NATURE: Cuba's Wild Revolution As the largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba is host to spectacular wildlife found nowhere else on the planet: from the jumping crocodiles of the Zapata swamp to the world’s tiniest hummingbird, from thousands of migrating crabs to giant, bat-eating boas that lie in wait for easy prey. Decades of a socialist, conservation-minded government, American embargoes and minimal development have left the island virtually unchanged for 50 years. As international relations ease, what will become of this wildlife sanctuary?
