In the language of the Maya people who once inhabited the area, Sian Ka'an means "origin of the sky". Located on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, this biosphere reserve contains tropical forests, mangroves and swamps, as well as vast marine areas divided by a large barrier reef. It provides habitat for an extremely rich flora and fauna, including more than 300 bird species, and a large number of terrestrial vertebrates endemic to the region, all living together in a diverse environment formed by its complex hydrological system.
