The existing system of protected areas in the Federation is limited to two (2) terrestrial protected areas on the island of St. Kitts, and three recently (2016) established Marine Management Area (MMA) Conservation Zones that form part of a MMA that extends 2 miles out from the shoreline of both islands. Only the Central Forest Reserve National Park was established primarily for ecological conservation, and there are no legally established terrestrial protected areas on the island of Nevis. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) investment, through the Conserving Biodiversity and Reducing Habitat Degradation in Protected Areas and their Areas of Influence Project, will expand the protected areas system from two terrestrial sites totaling 5,260 hectares to four terrestrial sites totaling 8,810 hectares and support management of the three marine sites totaling 11,693 hectares. |
