Opis
The Parc des Grandes Fougères is a large forest (4,535 hectares of tropical rainforest) within the central mountains of Grande Terre. There are many trails available guiding visitors through the rainforests as well as wooded savannahs. Most of the plants are endemic and the park is covered with the big Fern trees, hence the name.
Most of the endemic birds species common in New Caledonia can be found here. Kagu are commonly found walking on the ground next or even on the trails and the New Caledonian Goshawk is often heard calling from a dominant perch. Other notable species include Horned Parakeet, New Caledonian Parakeet, New Caledonian Crow and Southern Shrikebill. Red-throated Parrotfinch can often be found foraging in pairs in drier grassy areas.
