The beautiful island of Saint Lucia and its waters provide ecosystem services that buffer the impacts of storms and climate change, provide residents with valuable natural resources and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods, and support economically important agriculture and tourism industries.
The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund supports the island through a wide range of both marine and terrestrial conservation-related activities including protected area management, environmental education and awareness, local community engagement and alternative sustainable livelihoods.
