|---|---|
| Surrounded by deep waters with counter-currents, Cocos Island is admired by scuba divers for its populations of hammerhead sharks, rays, dolphins and other large marine species. | WIKI |
| [11] For many, the main attractions are the large pelagic fish species, which are very abundant in this unique meeting point between deep and shallow waters. | WIKI |
| Smaller and colorful species are also abundant in one of the most extensive coral reefs in the southeastern Pacific. | WIKI |
| The islet Manuelita is a popular site for diving and observing marine species | WIKI |
| The island has 235 known species of flowering plants, of which 70 are endemic. | WIKI |
| [21] Additionally, 74 species of ferns and fern allies (lycopodiophytes and pteridophytes[22]), 128 species of mosses and liverworts,[23] 90 species of fungi and 41 species of slimemolds[24] have been reported. | WIKI |
| Nevertheless, more exhaustive investigations are expected to reveal many more species. | WIKI |
| The understory includes sedges such as Hypolitrum amplum and various species of ferns and tree ferns, including Cyathea armata and Danaea media. | WIKI |
| The island has over 400 known species of insects, of which 65 (16%) are endemic. | WIKI |
| Over 50 species of other arthropods have been described (spiders, centipedes, millipedes, and isopods). | WIKI |
| Two species of lizard are found on the island, an anole (Anolis townsendii) and a gecko (Sphaerodactylus pacificus); both are endemic. | WIKI |
| Nearly 90 bird species have been reported. | WIKI |
| Seven species of land birds inhabit the island, including three endemics: the Cocos cuckoo (Coccyzus ferrugineus), Cocos flycatcher (Nesotriccus ridgwayi) and Cocos finch (Pinaroloxias inornata). | WIKI |
| The island has no native land mammal species, though five inhabit the island in modern times: pigs, deer, goats, cats, and rats, all of which were introduced by humans. | WIKI |
| The rich coral reef, volcanic tunnels, caves, massifs and deeper waters surrounding Cocos Island are home to more than 30 species of coral, 60 species of crustaceans, 600 species of molluscs and over 300 species of fish. | WIKI |
| The largest of all species of fish is also present, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus). | WIKI |
| In December 2017, a female tiger shark (a species that returned to the waters of Isla del Coco in 2012, after 30 years of not being seen in the area) killed New Yorker Rohina Bhandari while she was scuba diving in Manuelita in the Isla del Coco National Park. | WIKI |
| Illegal poaching of large marine species in and around its protected waters has become a main concern. | WIKI |
| Natural population densities of large top predators indicate a near pristine conservation status of a property that is among the most important sites in the Eastern Tropical Pacific for the protection of large pelagic migratory species, such as the endangered Scalloped Hammerhead Shark and the near-threatened Silky Shark and Galapagos Shark. | UNESCO |
| This makes it a dispersing centre of larvae of marine species from various parts of the Pacific Ocean. | UNESCO |
| There are, for instance, three endemic bird species, two endemic freshwater fish and two endemic reptile species. | UNESCO |
| The isolation has been allowing ongoing evolutionary processes on land, giving origin to countless endemic species in the most diverse taxonomic groups, including several vertebrate species. | UNESCO |
| The currents and the island affect the movements and distribution of the many migratory marine species aggregating for feeding and reproduction in the waters around the island. | UNESCO |
| The property serves as a dispersion centre of larvae of numerous marine species coming from the entire Pacific. | UNESCO |
| pelagic species aggregate to have parasites removed by specialised fish and other species. | UNESCO |
| Smaller satellite rocks around the island support nesting and resting habitats for numerous migratory and resident bird species. | UNESCO |
| However, the main species conservation value derives from critical marine habitat and the corresponding role of the property in the conservation of large pelagic species, especially several species of sharks. | UNESCO |
| Among some 300 recorded fish species are important aggregations of large pelagic fish, such as the vulnerable Whale Shark and Blue Marlin, as well as Sailfish Broadbill Swordfish, Shortbill Spearfish, Giant Manta Ray and Pelagic Stingray. | UNESCO |
| In the marine areas, the large aggregations of top predators, including but not limited to numerous shark species, demonstrate the integrity within an intensively fished marine region. | UNESCO |
| While many of the aggregations occur in a relatively small area within the property, the marine limits fail to do justice to the life cycles of the many migratory species. | UNESCO |
| Cocos Island National Park cannot achieve the long-term conservation of species indiscriminately exploited in the wider Eastern Tropical Pacific and elsewhere. | UNESCO |
| On land, the main threats are invasive alien species of both flora and fauna. | UNESCO |
