Conservation Research and Action

Caribbean Conservation

CaribNature is a program dedicated to biodiversity conservation throughout the Caribbean Islands. The program is led by Professor Blair Hedges at Pennsylvania State University, an expert on natural history and conservation of the Caribbean. Current efforts are described in essays on the CaribNature website, and include rescue missions for critically endangered frogs and other species, cryobanking, and public awareness of key conservation issues.
