Soortenbescherming Caribisch Nederland (BO-43-117-006)

The required process of updating nature policy plans every five years also necessitates regular evaluations and assessments of the state of nature as related to the various species and their habitats. In this project the focus in 2022 will be to:

1) provide an update on the conservation status of the Lesser Antillean Iguana of St. Eustatius, a species recently seriously threatened by introduction of the non-native green Iguana with which it hybridizes.

2) conduct an population assessment and mapping inventory of the endangered orchids of the island of Saba.
