Project Summary:
The Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) has the weakest biosecurity capacity of all UKOTs. This multi-sector collaborative project will strengthen biosecurity capacity across TCI, enhancing protection of the islands’ natural assets. Focusing on protecting the Critically Endangered TCI rock iguana, we will mitigate impact of invasive vertebrates and uncontrolled tourism across 11 islands; spanning three national parks and three privately-owned islands. Building on previous successes, this project represents the first attempt at holistic management for invasive vertebrates in the region.
