In a year filled with unfamiliar and daunting challenges, in the Caribbean and around the world, we were able to persevere and create meaningful impact during a crucial time for our planet—all thanks to our supporters.
Working with local partners and communities throughout the region, we advanced lasting conservation outcomes and helped create a healthier, more resilient future for people and nature.
