Summary
Longer drier periods and frequent, intense natural disasters will require adaptation if the ambitions to protect native wildlife and food security are to be realised on Montserrat. Montserrat National Trust can bring together the community to empower itself through the demonstration of irrigation systems based on climate adaptation techniques with the introduction of interpretation boards, and appropriate descriptions and labelling of plant fauna throughout the Botanical Garden,to increase local knowledge of the islands flora and adaptation to the changing environment.
