A robust network of protected areas is essential for safeguarding the Grenadas’s unique biodiversity. The Dominican Republic boasts a significant network of protected areas, encompassing both terrestrial and marine ecosystems:
These protected areas safeguard a significant portion of Grenada's diverse land ecosystems.
These areas play a critical role in protecting crucial marine habitats like coral reefs and crucial fishing grounds.
While the terrestrial protected area (36 km2) percentage is promising, ongoing efforts aim to expand this critical aspect of Grenada's conservation strategy.
While the marine protected area (26 km2) percentage is currently smaller, the CBF and local partners are actively working to expand these critical areas.
