Country endemic-species profiles
OtherGuatemala
Guatemala has at least 22,000 identified species, while its best national endemism figures are reported by taxonomic group rather than as one compatible all-taxa total. More than 550…
Open profile
OtherPanama
Panama’s current national biodiversity reporting places the country at more than 1,300 endemic species. [S1] The number is a national headline, not a synchronized species-by-species register across plants,…
Open profile
OtherCosta Rica
Costa Rica does not have one defensible all-taxa endemic-species total. National datasets differ in taxonomic scope, rank, coverage and range treatment, so strict country endemics, Cocos Island endemics…
Open profile
OtherVenezuela
Venezuela’s endemism is split among several biological inventories and several isolation systems. The strongest national datasets do not use one synchronized taxonomic treatment, so vascular plants, birds, mammals,…
Open profile
OtherBolivia
Bolivia's country endemics are concentrated in several different geographic systems: the humid eastern Andes and Yungas, isolated inter-Andean valleys, high Andean ridges and basins, and the seasonally flooded…
Open profile
OtherMyanmar
Myanmar has no defensible single all-taxa total for endemic species. Current national datasets cover different biological groups, use different taxonomic treatments, and in some cases define endemism differently,…
Open profile
OtherThailand
Thailand’s country-endemic biota is often concentrated in small geographic units: limestone hills, caves, isolated mountain systems and freshwater drainages. National datasets cover different taxonomic groups and definitions, so…
Open profile
OtherVietnam
Vietnam’s country endemism is concentrated in several different isolation systems: the Hoang Lien high mountains, limestone karsts in the north, the Trường Sơn/Annamite chain, the Ngoc Linh massif,…
Open profile
OtherMalaysia
Malaysia combines two separated land areas—Peninsular Malaysia and the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo—so country endemism has to be distinguished from wider Malay Peninsula and…
Open profile
AsiaTurkey
Türkiye’s country-endemic biota is structured by several different isolation systems: high mountains, the Taurus–Anatolian Diagonal belt, closed inland drainages, narrow southwestern amphibian ranges and small-mammal lineages. National datasets…
Open profile
South AmericaChile
Chile combines continental barriers, isolated high-Andean waters, Mediterranean-climate mountains and remote Pacific islands within one national boundary. National biodiversity reporting estimates that almost one quarter of the species…
Open profile
CaribbeanCuba
Cuba combines country-wide endemics with species confined to individual mountain systems, karst landscapes, wetlands, cays, and unusual soil types. The strongest national datasets use different taxonomic units, so…
Open profileStatistics keep their original scope
National figures are shown with the taxonomic and geographic definitions used by their sources rather than combined into one total.
Country-level measures appear before the detailed taxonomic sections.
Long checklists remain searchable and retain the scope stated by the source.
Inline citations connect factual claims to the source list for each profile.
