National Tree 

The government established the Pine tree as a national symbol through accord # 429 emitted in Tegucigalpa on May 14, 1926. This accord was designed to establish protective measures to conserve and improve the existing resources throughout the country. The pine tree (pinus oocarpa or pino ocote) exemplifies the national flora, and it is considered to be one of the resources known to Hondurans throughout the nation since it is abundant and its products are used in many ways. The protection given to natural resources in general and particularly to pine trees, represents a necessary conservation measure that will foster civic pride amongst all Hondurans.





Honduran Shield

Honduras, like all other countries that were Spanish colonies, used the shields (coat-of-arms) of Spain, but once the country became independent, these shields were no longer necessary.Dionisio de Herrera, as the Head of the State of Honduras, decreed the creation of a national shield on October 3, 1825. Through his initiative, Honduras acquired its own national shield, one which represents Honduran history and the rich variety of national resources that it possesses and which should be protected and conserved.

WHITE TAILED DEER – NATIONAL FAUNA OF HONDURAS

This mammal reaches an average weight of 35-40 kilograms and reaches a height of 73 centimeters and 140 centimeter long including the tail, its diet is vegetarian and is based on herbs, leaves, fruits and other wild vegetation.

The males of the species possess antlers that fall off every year, they have a very sensitive sense of smell and are great swimmers. Of the two species found in Honduras, the white tailed deer is the largest, and its two biggest natural enemies include the puma and the jaguar, as well as humans. This deer, when it raises its unique tail, runs and gives the signal of danger to the rest of the pack.

As Hondurans we are committed to protect and conserve our natural resources including our fauna which in its majority is in danger of extinction.
