Biodiversidad

Biodiversidad y especies en peligro de extinción

There are eight species of sea turtles in the world, six of which nest on the coasts of Central America and four of which make their home on the coasts of El Salvador. Of these four species, the most common is the olive ridley turtle, followed by the green turtle. The other two species, the hawksbill turtle and the leatherback turtle, are much harder to find as they are critically endangered, while the olive ridley turtle and the green turtle are in danger of extinction.

Recent conservation efforts offer hope for the future of the country's biological diversity. In 1997, the government created the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. In 1999, the National Assembly approved a general environmental framework law, although specific legislation to protect wildlife is still pending. In addition, several non-governmental organizations are doing important work to safeguard some of the country's most important forest areas. The most important of these is SalvaNatura, which manages El Imposible, the country's largest national park, under an agreement with El Salvador's environmental authorities.

Despite these efforts, much remains to be done.

It is estimated that in El Salvador there are 500 species of birds, 1,000 species of butterflies, 400 species of orchids, 800 species of trees and 800 species of marine fish.

Restauración de ecosistemas

During the Bonn Challenge 3.0 High-Level Meeting held in March 2018, El Salvador announced its plans to propose aDecenio de las Naciones Unidas para la Restauración de los Ecosistemas2021-2030, with the aim of boosting existing efforts to restore degraded ecosystems. El Salvador’s leadership in ecosystem restoration emerged from its support for the Bonn Challenge, which aims to restore 350 million hectares of degraded ecosystems globally by 2030, and its endorsement of the New York Declaration on Forests. As one of six Bonn Challenge pilot countries, El Salvador has committed to restoring one million hectares, equivalent to half of the country’s territory.
