Protecting Anguilla’s biodiversity by building capacity in invasive plant management
Key Facts

WHERE Anguilla
Summary
The project will build capacity in Anguilla to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of invasive plant species. Through a programme of “learning by doing”, skill sharing and community involvement five priority invasive plant species will be tackled, with eradication of at least three, and a monitoring programme established for early warning and rapid response. Biosecurity will be strengthened. Lessons learned will be shared with other regional UKOT territories, and an Invasive Plant Strategy developed to guide future work.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
