While some birds in northern latitudes are just starting to sing their Spring mating songs, the Caribbean winter has been busy with breeding seabirds. Some species, like Brown Boobies and Red-billed Tropicbirds, nest year-round and are trying to find enough food for with their rapidly-growing chicks. Meanwhile, the summer breeding tern and gulls are arriving, as can be seen in this photo by Grenadines Volunteer Patrol member Paul James.
We have received a positive response thus far regarding a funding proposal to create an app for our Patrol members to use. This would make it much easier to collect data from the remote and spread out islands of the Grenadines. Even better, the data would be included in a worldwide biodiversity database, making it easier for government officials and other stakeholders to understand the wealth of wildlife which needs protection and the serious threats faced by island refuges.
Believe it or not, your contribution helps us to leverage large funding options like these. We show funders how important this issue is to supporters like you and that we can cover costs like training and gas for Grenadines Volunteer Patrol members. We are taking your support and magnifying its impact…thank you for making all of this possible!
