289: 365: 383: 373: 1168:) has been recorded in some places in FalcĂłn. The species is found only in dry areas in Colombia and Venezuela around the mouth of Lake Maracaibo, mostly tropical thorn or very dry forest with mean temperatures above 24 Â°C (75 Â°F) and rainfall from 250–500 millimetres (9.8–19.7 in). Much of its habitat has been converted to agriculture, and the remnants are very fragmented. The main breeding period in the Paraguaná Peninsula is the dry season in June and July. It may occur in the 611: 1260:
been drained for housing development. Most of the trees have been cut down, often surreptitiously by poor residents, leaving only a few remnants of forest. The wood is used for small buildings, furniture, fencing and fuel. Extensive grazing of livestock such as goats threaten the habitat. Large areas of scrub have been cleared and replaced by vegetable farms. Small mammals are poached. Other threats come from dam construction, oil exploitation, mining and road building.
1145: 1216:) is found in the ecoregion in the Lara–FalcĂłn valleys. Although protected by law, as of 2016 the population of the species was declining quickly due to trapping for sale as a cage bird, and the population was severely fragmented. It is observed at elevations from 100–1,500 metres (330–4,920 ft), moving seasonally and daily from moist evergreen forest to dry deciduous woodlands, and the surrounding shrubby grasslands and pastures. The 168:. The region holds flora and fauna adapted to the very dry conditions of the coastal dunes and inland areas of bush, scrub, briars and cacti. There are several endangered species of animals and birds. Efforts at protecting the environment have been ineffective. Most of the original trees have been cut down, dunes are being destabilized by loss of vegetation, scrub is replaced by farmland and vegetation is destroyed by grazing goats. 48: 1672: 29: 1205:, was discovered in a small area of SocopĂł Ridge in FalcĂłn at 520 metres (1,710 ft). The frog, considered critically endangered, was found in 2004 in a small marsh beside a dirt road and in calm sections of a small stream. The surrounding area was cloud forest that had been cleared to create cattle pasture. 930:-like vegetation with dwarf woody plants at 800–830 metres (2,620–2,720 ft) on the Cerro Santa Ana. The flora at the higher levels of the peninsula is very different from the rest of the ecoregion. The forests are dense, with two stories of low to medium trees and a thick understory. Common species include 317:
50 Â°C (122 Â°F) in the sun, but may fall to as low as 15 Â°C (59 Â°F) in the shade. The cause of the arid or semi-arid climate is unclear, but may be caused in part by the strong northeast trade winds blowing along the coast and by the contrast in thermal properties between the sea and the land.
405:. Herbaceous or bushy vegetation grows on the dunes and saline depressions by the coast. Further inland there is brush, scrub and areas of briars or cacti. These forms of vegetation may contain differing quantities of deciduous and evergreen trees depending on conditions, forming a complex mosaic of habitats. 1259:
Unplanned housing and tourist facilities have invaded many areas and large areas of scrubland have been destroyed, causing the dunes to move and become barren of all vegetation. Attempts have been made to open a tourist complex in the area, destroying large areas of typical vegetation. Marshes have

Annual rainfall on the Paraguaná Peninsula is usually less than 300 millimetres (12 in), while in the Lara–FalcĂłn valleys it ranges from 350 millimetres (14 in) in dry areas to as much as 1,000 millimetres (39 in) in the foothills of the Andes. Ground-level temperatures may rise to

There is a municipal dump in the park, privately owned facilities for extracting salt and outlets for untreated waste water. 925:
The vegetation of the peninsula includes thorny plants at elevations of 0–300 metres (0–984 ft), deciduous forests at 300–550 metres (980–1,800 ft), cloud forests at 550–700 metres (1,800–2,300 ft), scrubland with small bush-like trees at 700–800 metres (2,300–2,600 ft) and

The Turbio River is the largest in the Lara Falcón depression. 1110:, has been observed on a protected strip of shore grasses and bush between Coro and La Vela. However, the description of the specimens is somewhat different from that of the Galapagos species, so it may be a different species. The rare 248:
