Red Listing Training A Boost for Bahamas Conservation Management
12/4/2018 12:45:55 PM
FOURTEEN Bahamian and eight Caribbean experts converged in Nassau for a week of training on how to assess threatened and endangered species—known as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List training. The workshop focused on how Red Listing is done, the components of an assessment and then went through the process of Red Listing Bahamian species.
The training took place at the Bahamas National Trust’s (BNT) Retreat Garden and included Bahamians from governmental and nongovernmental organizations including staff from BNT, Island Conservation, the Forestry Unit, the Department of Marine Resources and the Bahamas Environment Science and Technology Commission. Also attending were botanists from Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Barbados and Florida. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the world’s leading authority on the conservation status of all species and is an important tool in assessing a country’s biodiversity status and conservation priorities.
