Thanks to generous donors like you, we have reached our annual funding goal!
It means so much to know that you support the work that is our passion.
There's even more good news. We were able to get a grant from the Global Environment Facility by showing that we had matching funds from Global Giving donors who believe in this project. That means your donation was doubled! The grant will fund biodiversity education in the Grenadines and will support a workshop to train fishermen and others how to be bird guides in addition to our volunteer warden project. This an opportunity to create jobs that rely on healthy bird populations, a win-win for everybody.
I hope you will continue to show your support for this project, there is much more work to do in 2015. We wil be continuing our research on chick survival and working with the Grenadines community to protect seabirds through workshops and outreach. The project's lead researcher, Wayne, is from Grenada and is starting graduate school this year using this project as the basis for his thesis. Building local capacity is just one of the many benefits of this project.
Global Giving is now matching the initial donation of recurring donations. Whether it is a monthly donation or a one-time donation, either way it will all add up to another great year because of donors like you!
Wishing you all the best for the holiday season and looking forward to another successful year.
