Birds of Guam

Guam is the southernmost and largest island in the Mariana Islands, which are part of Micronesia in the western Pacific Ocean. The highest point is Mount Lamlam at 407 m above sea level. There is a tropical rainforest climate. Unfortunately, the appearance of the brown tree snake has led to the almost complete extinction of the native bird world, other species are threatened with extinction or have already become extinct in the wild. Almost a third of the area is used for military purposes. Wildfires are a major threat to the remaining forests, with 80% of fires being caused by arson. Nevertheless, tourism on Guam plays an important role.

Guam is located in the Pacific Ocean. Legally Guam belongs to USA.
