Dominica's pre-Columbian name was Wai'tu kubuli, which means "her body is tall."  The island also has the nickname "The Nature Isle of the Caribbean" due to its seemingly unspoiled natural beauty.  The isle of Dominica is one of the youngest islands in the Lesser Antilles, and it is still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity. It is a lush island of mountainous rainforests, home of many rare plant, animal and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the coastal regions but heavy rainfall can be expected inland. The Sisserou parrot is featured on the Dominica flag. Dominica's economy is heavily dependent on both tourism and agriculture.
