The BioSPACE project, led by the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and its partners, aims to strengthen the sustainable management of natural resources, protect biodiversity and support island communities in the face of the impacts of climate change. Its actions focus on environmental data collection, ecosystem restoration and the development of sustainable livelihoods.
In the Eastern Caribbean, BioSPACE supports island territories in their transformation towards a more resilient model. Whether it’s farming, fishing, ecosystem restoration or bee-keeping, these initiatives strengthen livelihoods while preserving biodiversity.
These videos illustrate the concrete actions undertaken by BioSPACE in different parts of the region, giving a voice to communities and showing how they are becoming active players in the preservation of their environment.
Agriculture in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, sustainable agriculture is at the heart of the initiatives supported by BioSPACE. This video shows how adapted farming practices boost food security and enable communities to better cope with climate change.
Fishing in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Artisanal fishing is essential to the people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. With the support of BioSPACE, sustainable management measures are helping to protect marine resources while ensuring stable incomes for local fishermen.
Restoration of the Woburn mangrove (Grenada)
The restoration of mangroves in Woburn, Grenada, illustrates the importance of coastal ecosystems in the fight against erosion and climate change. Thanks to the BioSPACE project , these vital areas are regaining their protective role and becoming areas of restored biodiversity.
Beekeeping at Produce Delight (Saint Kitts and Nevis)
In Saint Kitts and Nevis, beekeeping is supported by BioSPACE as a sustainable economic alternative. It adds value to honey production, diversifies livelihoods and protects pollinators, essential players in biodiversity and local agriculture.
Through these examples, the BioSPACE project is demonstrating its central role in the resilience of Caribbean communities and the preservation of island ecosystems.
