When our Chair, Ian Wright, came into the office one day and explained his plans to start a project in Tobago we couldn’t have imagined what it would blossom in to.
Ian and Roy have worked together to carve out a corner of Tobago that has become a sanctuary for local wildlife with a long and varied list of residents including caiman, agouti, parrots, quenk, boa constrictors, sally painter, manicous/opossum, armadillo/ tattoos, red squirrels, green iguana, as well as numerous bird and butterfly species. Here they run an education programme for local schools, visitors and tourists who have a chance to get close to the indigenous wildlife and discover a new appreciation for them. Some animals are rescued or handed in having been injured or captured and some are successfully breeding to re-establish Tobagon populations which are endangered through hunting.
