About

The Grenada Biodiversity Data Hub translates technical conservation research into accessible insights for Grenada's communities, educators, policymakers, and visitors. We take data from ongoing biodiversity monitoring and present it in ways that help everyone understand Grenada's conservation progress and the health of our priority species.

The Project Behind It

This hub is part of the "Climate-Resilient Agriculture for Integrated Landscape Management" project in Grenada, implemented by the Government of Grenada in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project is implemented through the Ministry of Agriculture & Lands, Forestry, Marine Resources & Cooperatives and focuses on developing standardized monitoring protocols for priority species in key biodiversity areas across Grenada's watersheds, agricultural systems, and production landscapes.

Led by Gaea Conservation Network - a consortium of ecologists and biodiversity specialists with decades of collective experience in the Caribbean, especially Grenada - this work integrates and expands biodiversity and ecosystem conservation approaches in key prioritized areas across our islands.

Our Focus Species

Grenada Dove - Continuing decades of research and conservation efforts for our critically important national bird.
Grenada Frog - Monitoring our endemic amphibian species to understand population health and habitat needs.
Sea Turtles - Tracking populations through community partnerships and reporting systems that provide valuable monitoring data.
Mongoose Control - Measuring the effectiveness of invasive species management programs in supporting native biodiversity recovery.

How We Work

Our approach combines community science partnerships, government agency collaboration, and research institution expertise to create a comprehensive picture of biodiversity trends across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.

We work with local organizations like OceanSpirits and SPECTO who contribute valuable field data, partner with government ministries for policy-relevant insights, and collaborate with international research institutions to ensure our methodologies meet the highest scientific standards.

Making Science Accessible

Technical research findings are valuable only when they can inform decision-making and community understanding. This hub serves as a bridge between the detailed scientific work happening in the field and the broader community of people who care about Grenada's natural heritage.

By presenting monitoring data and research outcomes in accessible formats, we aim to demonstrate conservation progress, highlight success stories, and show how community contributions make a real difference in protecting Grenada's biodiversity.
