Summary
Great & Little Tobago Islands are uninhabited National Park islands internationally recognised as a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) and a Tropical Important Plant Area (Great Tobago only). Their diverse and endemic floral habitats are highly threatened by feral goat grazing and competition from invasive non-native plants. This project will pioneer the combined removal of all feral goats and emergent invasive plants from both islands, enabling their ecosystems to recover, increasing their climate resilience and developing local plant eradication capacity.
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.
