皮通山Pitons)是位于圣卢西亚西南海岸苏弗里耶尔镇附近的两座火山栓(vocalnic plug),分别为大皮通山(Gros Piton)和小皮通山(Petit Piton)。皮通山和其周围地区是多种生物的栖息地,于2004年以“皮通山保护区”(Pitons Management Area)的名称列入世界遗产名录,总面积达29平方公里。

概况

皮通山保护区的陆地部分约长11千米,宽1千米。其中的大皮通山高770米,为圣卢西亚的第二高山,直径达3千米;小皮通山高743米,直径约1千米。大小皮通山之间由皮通细山脊连接,一直延伸到海面。两座火山周围的地区包括一个地热带,散布着火山喷气孔和热泉。皮通山保护区还管理着当地的农业、渔业、居民活动(约有1500名居民)和旅游业。

皮通山主要的陆地植物为潮湿热带森林和亚热带雨林,在接近海岸处和陡坡地段有一小部分干燥林,接近山顶处有潮湿矮林。大皮通山已发现至少148种植物,小皮通山和中间的山脊至少有97种植物,其中有8种珍稀树种。大皮通山还是大约27种鸟类(其中5种为当地特产鸟类)、3种当地特产啮齿动物、1种负鼠、3种蝙蝠、8种爬虫动物和3种两栖动物的栖息地。

珊瑚暗礁覆盖了保护区内几乎60%的海面。一项调查显示,这里有168种长须鲸,包括多种珊瑚在内的60种刺胞动物、8种软体动物、14种海绵、11种棘皮动物、15种节肢动物和8种环节动物。近海岸处有玳瑁出没,海面上还能看见鲸鲨领航鲸的身影。
