| Sierra de la Laguna |
 |
The Cape region of the southern state of Baja California is home to the Sierra de la Laguna dry forest. Tropical dry forests make up the majority of tropical forests on earth. Even though there is more dry tropical habitat throughout the world than rainforest, this habitat is not as well known and tends to be overlooked by conservation efforts.
In a tropical dry forest, the dry season is far longer than the brief period of rainfall. Most of the trees and shrubs found in this type of habitat are deciduous, losing their leaves at the onset of the extended dry season, and for this reason they are also known as tropical deciduous forests. In the Americas, vast tracts of tropical dry forest once reached along the Pacific coast from the tip of Baja California in the north to northern Argentina. Much of this forest has been lost, but some still remains today in many rugged mountainous areas, national parks, and biosphere reserves.
