Summary
Climate change is impacting the BVI with more intensive storms and droughts, as seen by the 2017 hurricane season. This project will create BVI specific climate change modelling data on a web dashboard that will facilitate targeted NPTVI fieldwork, inform decision making at national levels, and raise public awareness. We will build resilience into the BVI protected area network by identifying sites that provide ecosystem services to the community and contain biodiversity value in the face of a changing climate.
