A volcanic island with forested hills, clear waters and wildlife found nowhere else. Montserrat's natural wealth is the foundation for a resilient future.
Montserrat has been shaped by its volcano. Since the Soufrière Hills eruptions began in 1995, life on the island has moved north, and the forests of the Centre Hills have become even more important.
These hills hold most of the island’s remaining forest and much of its fresh water. They are home to the Montserrat oriole, the national bird, which lives nowhere else on Earth, along with rare reptiles and amphibians.
Around the coast, reefs and seagrass support fishing and protect the shore, while the land supplies volcanic aggregates and fertile soil. Looked after well, these natural assets can support jobs, food and resilience for generations.
The CBF does not yet fund projects in Montserrat, but the island is part of the region we serve and its ecosystems matter to the whole Eastern Caribbean.
We welcome conversations with government, community groups and organisations working to protect Montserrat’s forests, reefs and wildlife. To talk about future collaboration, get in touch with our team.
The unique volcanic island of Montserrat and its surrounding waters offer crucial ecosystem services that help to mitigate the impacts of environmental changes, supply inhabitants with valuable natural resources like volcanic aggregates and fish, and provide a foundation for sustainable livelihoods.
Explore our diverse project portfolio in Montserrat, that encompass initiatives that address issues such as invasive species management, sustainable tourism practices, and climate change adaptation. By supporting a diverse range of projects, the CBF ensures a comprehensive approach to environmental conservation on the islands.
