There are some plants and animals that live only on St. Martin. Many more only live here and on a few nearby islands. They are amazing and special, but kids don’t necessarily learn about them in school. Everyone can get to know them in Endemics Around Me, a coloring book and nature journal about plants and animals that are endemic to our island or our part of the Caribbean.
Endemics Around Me: St. Martin Nature Coloring Book and Journal
St. Martin is full of amazing animals and plants. Some of them live only on St. Martin. They don’t live anywhere else in the world! Other animals and plants live only in our part of the Caribbean. That makes them special. We are lucky that we are able to see them. Scientists use the word “endemic” for animals and plants that live only in a certain place. Something is endemic to St. Martin if it lives only on our island. A plant or animal can also be endemic to just a few islands, or just our part of the Caribbean, the Lesser Antilles. This book is full of things that live only on St. Martin, or only in our part of the Caribbean. Every time you see them, you know you live somewhere special and unique!
