Los Tuxtlas biodiversity is rivaled by few other areas in Mexico. Nine forest
vegetation types have been identified, including deciduous forest, oak forest,
mangrove, savannah, high evergreen forests, evergreen lowland forests,
mid-elevation semi-deciduous forest, pine forest and coastal vegetation. Because
of its wide ranges in elevation (from the coast to the 1700 meter volcanoes, Los
Tuxtlas present a rare environment where multiple forest types are contained in
one region.
In general, the Neotropical flora of Las Tuxlas is specific to the Caribbean region
and the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Province. The region has approximately 2,700
species represented in 214 families
Los Tuxtlas flora present a high rate of endemism, with about 10% of the trees
and dozens of plants being considered endemic, plus many more species
considered to be threatend or endangered species.
