Summary
This project takes a “joined up” approach to restore and conserve Anguilla’s pollinators and degraded habitats. It joins-up habitats by creating rewilded pollinator pathways (B-lines) and joins-up people through collaborative, community-based actions. An assessment of Anguilla’s B-Line pollinators (bees, butterflies, birds, bats) informs a collaboratively-developed National Pollinators Strategy. Through the creation of sustainable alternative livelihood opportunities (beekeeping), and an increase in public awareness, this project fosters support for community-based conservation and increased species and habitat resiliency while addressing biodiversity loss.
Biodiversity monitoring efforts aimed at identifying the migration patterns of Endangered sea turtles highlight the urgent need for global conservation.
