From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aruba-Curaçao-Bonaire cactus scrub ecoregion (WWF ID: NT1302) covers the dry land on the semi-arid islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire in the southern Caribbean Sea, about 80 km from the mainland of Venezuela. In low-lying coastal areas the islands also support mangrove wetlands. The landscape features a range of cactus species and acacia trees.[1][2] [3]
