Río Abajo State Forest
Rio Abajo Forest is a forested preserve in Puerto Rico owned by the Department of Natural Resources. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1980 and constitutes an area of 3,590 acres. It consists mostly of subtropical wet and moist karst forest. Mogotes and sinkholes fill the landscape.
It is home to plant and wildlife species that include endangered species such as the Puerto Rican broad-winged hawk, the Puerto Rican boa, and a captive population of critically endangered Puerto Rican parrots. Captive parrots are slowly being released into Rio Abajo in an attempt to form a second population.
