Summary
This project enables the development of a nature trail with an environmental education and emersion area highliting Montserrat’s unique biodiversity and natural heritage for the benefit of Montserrat’s young people and other visitors. A key role for some parts of the area will be biological surveying opportunities for students – for their training and for progressive benefit of the information base for the site. An onsite farming area will allow for teaching farming techniques and the production of medicinal plants.
Biodiversity monitoring efforts aimed at identifying the migration patterns of Endangered sea turtles highlight the urgent need for global conservation.
