Well, it might have been a requirement for tropical islands, St. Lucia for example, to have richly diverse rainforests to boast about. Having a 19, 000 acres of rainforest is more than enough to thank nature for being such a gift of divine providence.
St. Lucia’s rainforest is a protected area as a habitat for exotic birds and array of animals and plants. None may even think that this overpowering forest is once feared of by locals due to folklores that associated the place with evil spirits. Probably this incidence paved the way for St. Lucia’s forest to remain well-preserved up to this moment.
As mentioned earlier, St. Lucia seemed to be well-gifted when it comes to forestry; in addition to this, the island also offers 29 miles of trails that travelers can enjoy upon visit. Speaking of trails, there are a variety of trails that nature adventurers can try:
