    This document compares and contrasts the Caribbean National Forest and Guánica State Forest in Puerto Rico. It discusses how the biodiversity, flora, fauna, and climate differ between the two ecosystems due to factors like proximity to the shoreline, temperature, precipitation, and human impact. Overall, it concludes that the Guánica State Forest has greater diversity than the Caribbean National Forest due to differences in climate, location, plant and animal life.
