The Republic of Cape Verde, is a
republic located on an archipelago in the Macaronesia ecoregion of the
North Atlantic Ocean, off the western coast of Africa. The previously
uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in
the fifteenth century (though there may have been earlier discoveries),
and attained independence in 1975.
Cape Verde is named after Cap Vert (meaning Green Cape) in Senegal, the
westernmost point of continental Africa. The country's name can be
pronounced many ways in English. Cape is pronounced like the article of
clothing, and Verde is pronounced either to rhyme with "bird", "birdy",
"bear D", or "bear day". "Cabo" is not used in English.
The isolation of Cape Verde about 500 km
(310 mi) from the African mainland has resulted in the islands having a
large number of endemic species, many of which are endangered by human
development. Endemic birds include Alexander's Swift (Apus alexandri),
Raso Lark (Alauda razae), Cape Verde Warbler (Acrocephalus brevipennis),
and Iago Sparrow (Passer iagoensis), and reptiles include the Cape Verde
Giant Gecko (Tarentola gigas). |
