A Unique Region on a Path to a Bright Future

We are proud to share the remarkable progress we have made throughout 2025 to create a Nature Positive Future for the Caribbean by 2030. The region is home to extraordinary natural beauty, vibrant communities, and ecosystems that support millions of people. It is also a region facing growing challenges from climate change and other environmental pressures. In 2025, with the support of our partners, local communities, and donors, we made meaningful progress toward lasting conservation solutions at a pivotal moment for the region and the planet.

From the climate-smart Soubise Fisher Facility in Grenada and a solar-powered Coral Innovation Hub in the Virgin Islands to improving the livelihoods of fishers in Haiti and empowering communities and conservationists to make the most informed decisions with the ArcGIS-based Caribbean 30x30 Conservation Dashboard, the report illustrates stories of innovation and collaboration.

Filled with facts, figures and captivating photographs, the report reflects the dedication of our Caribbean teams and partners working every day to protect nature and support a resilient future for island communities.

We are proud to share these 2025 accomplishments and deeply grateful for the collaboration and support that continue to make this work possible.
