The Venezuelan Andes montane forests (NT0175) is an ecoregion in the northern arm of the Andes in Venezuela, South America. It contains montane and cloud forests, reaching up to the high-level Cordillera de Merida páramo high moor ecoregion. The forests are home to many endemic species of flora and fauna. Their lower levels are threatened by migrant farmers, who clear patches of forest to grow crops, then move on.
