🏔️ Blue and John Crow Mountains

Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park is a national park in Jamaica. The park covers 495.2 km2 and accounts for 4.5% of Jamaica's land surface. It derives its name from the Blue Mountains, the mountain range that runs through it, as well as from the common bird found in the park, the "John crow". The park is globally recognized for its biodiversity. This park is the last of two known habitats of the giant swallowtail butterfly, the largest butterfly in the Western Hemisphere and also the habitat for the endangered Jamaican blackbird. Additionally, it serves as a refuge for the Jamaican boa and the Jamaican hutia.
