Alabama

The 5th Most Biologically Diverse State in the U.S.

From longleaf pine forest and beaches along the Gulf to the mountains and forests of north Alabama, Alabama's varied geography provides for a wide range of plant and animal diversity.  Our state boasts 18 river systems and more species of freshwater fish, mussels, turtles, snails and crayfish than any other state.
