The Ecuadorian dry forests (NT0214) is an ecoregion near the Pacific coast of the Ecuador.
The habitat has been occupied by people for centuries and has been severely damaged by deforestation, overgrazing and hillside erosion due to unsustainable agriculture.
Only 1% of the original forest remains.[1] The patches of forest, mostly secondary growth, are fragmented.
They are home to many endemic species at risk of extinction.
