Caribbean Initiative

The Caribbean Initiative is the most recent initiative of the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature).

The Caribbean Initiative focuses on the Insular Caribbean - an ecologically coherent unit with unique biodiversity where conservation and natural resource management issues are at the heart of the challenge of sustainable development. The Insular Caribbean is three distinct groups of islands: The Bahamas; the Greater Antilles, consisting of the larger islands of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico; and the Lesser Antilles.
