St. Vincent Blacksnake Conservation Action Plan Workshop
Wild and Fauna and Flora, with funding from the Critical Eco-system Partnership Fund, are implementing the project entitled Call to Action: Conservation Action Plans for Priority Caribbean Species. This project seeks to enable national organizations of participating islands, such as the Forestry Department of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, to manage their endangered endemic species.
As a part of the process of developing the Conservation Action Plan, a two (2) day workshop was held at the Forestry Department at Campden Park on 8th and 9th April 2025.
According to the Caribbean Program Officer, Justin Springer, the project seeks to support the recovery of threatened species across the region.
Founder and Director of the Science Initiative for Environmental Conservation and Education (SCIENCE), Lystra Culzac, explained the role of SCIENCE in the development of the Conservation Action Plan for the St. Vincent Black snake, saying that her organization will be given the task once the workshops are completed.
The St. Vincent Black snake is endemic to St. Vincent and has been listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as critically endangered. It has been identified as one of the priority species under the project, for which a conservation action plan is to be developed.
SCIENCE is a not-for-profit, environmental non-governmental organization that has been operating and registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for over fifteen (15) years.
