Ecoregional Assessments for the Greater Caribbean Basin

The Caribbean is one of the world's epicenters of biological diversity and species endemism with literally thousands of plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. Conservation has proven a challenge in this large, diverse, and globally-important area -- one that The Nature Conservancy is addressing through a strong on-the-ground presence led by country programs that have science-based conservation strategies.

To address these problems and opportunities, The Nature Conservancy initiated a Regional Conservation Assessment for the Greater Caribbean Basin, designed to examine regional biodiversity and the associated threats and conservation opportunities. This follows a worldwide trend of recognizing the need to examine about and manage for the maintenance of functioning ecosystem processes and populations across appropriately large regions to help slow widespread environmental changes. The biological and socio-economic data necessary to analyze the regional-scale context of Caribbean biodiversity has been assembled, into a standard, seamless GIS database to facilitate this approach.
