Nature Tour "Birdwatching on the Bermeja Trail"
Values of the area The Bermejas Wildlife Refuge:
The Bermejas Wildlife Refuge is located in the eastern part of the Zapata Peninsula Managed Resources Protected Area and Biosphere Reserve, north of the town of Bermejas. It consists of a substratum of carbonate rocks formed in the Neogene period of the Quaternary, of the Jaimanitas formation. It is a low, flat, gently sloping, karstic, internally fractured marine plain, with some signs of marine terraces and karstic formations covered or semi-covered by thick peat and clay.
Some of its endemic species are Heterosavia laurifoliayjicarita (Casasia calophylla). There is also a predominance of the soplillo (Lysiloma latisiliqua), jucaro (Bucida sp.) and palms (Sabal sp. and Roystonea regia). The priority natural resources for conservation are: the forest-lacustrine habitat as a whole and, at a specific level, the Yamaquey species (Belahiria mucronata) and the cock's egg (Tabernaemontana citrifolia).
Among the endemic amphibians we find the Eleutherodactylus riparius. The record of the bufo (Bufo empusa) dates from the 19th century (Gundlach, 1880), and the Bufofustiger is also observed.
Bermejas has 19 of the 24 endemic bird species present in the ecoregion. In only 1 ha, it is possible to see 16 of the 19 endemic species.
