Our Work in Trinidad & Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago is a captivating twin-island nation, a mosaic of vibrant ecosystems teeming with life. From lush rainforests teeming with exotic birds to vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, this Caribbean paradise boasts over 3,000 unique species.
The island’s coastal ecosystems play a vital role in protecting its shorelines. Healthy coral reefs, mangroves, wetlands, and seagrass beds act as natural barriers, safeguarding the islands from erosion and storm surges. In Tobago, for instance, nearly the entire coastline relies on these vital ecosystems for some form of protection.
The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) is proud to partner with Trinidad and Tobago to ensure the long-term health of its irreplaceable biodiversity. Our collaborative efforts focus on:
