In addition to 32 endemic bird species, the country hosts an impressive assemblage of permanent resident species, overwintering migrants, and other transient species that stop to rest and refuel enroute to more southerly wintering or northern breeding areas. The island of Hispaniola\u2019s high level of endemism and its contribution to global biodiversity have earned it the highest ranking of biological importance in a worldwide assessment of bird protection priorities.\u00a0 During this experience we will get to oversee Punta Cana, and the foundation where some of the main projects of bird\u2019s conversation began.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Punta Cana \u00c1rea\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This area, probably the most well-known resort area in the country, is at the easternmost tip of the country. The habitat of this area comprises mostly lowland moist forests, coastal shrub-land, pastureland and urban areas, as well as mangroves, lagoons, and beaches. Punta Cana is the most highly visited Caribbean destination resort. Nevertheless, over 90 different species of birds have been identified in Punta Cana during the winter migration season, and opportunities to learn and appreciate many of Hispaniola\u2019s interesting bird species are available in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our target species for Punta Cana include many species endemic to the island or to the Caribbean region, such as Hispaniolan Parrot, Hispaniolan Lizard-Cuckoo<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Punta Cana Foundation\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of good birding areas at Puntacana Resort and Club that are centered on the Puntacana Ecological Foundation. Behind the Center for Sustainability are a system of short trails that wind through a variety of gardens, tropical fruit orchards, and scrub forest. A longer, more developed trail is known as the Indian Eyes Trail. Access to this circular trail is made through the hotel which is across the street from the Ecological Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Departure &amp; Return<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tour, organized by \u201cBooking Adventures\u201d starts at the meeting point set with the Tour Guide.
