Establish and implement a monitoring program for critically endangered species on Cabritos Island in the Lake Enriquillo key biodiversity area (KBA) to measure the results of the elimination of invasive species. A baseline assessment will be conducted with two annual evaluations thereafter. The project builds on work being carried out in invasive species control, eradication, and maintenance by a number of local and international partner organisations and agencies, and aims to inform the development of conservation actions for this KBA and other offshore islands in the Dominican Republic. No final report available for this project.

Strategic Direction: 1 Improve protection and management of 45 priority key biodiversity areas
