The Americas comprises two continents - North and South America - extending from the northern to the southern polar region and lies within almost all of the world’s ecological zones. The varied environments from evergreen rainforests to barren mountain ranges, to vast steppes and semi-deserts, support life for an incredible diversity of species in this region of our planet.
