The Caribbean Division of the Nature Conservancy has concluded 2025 with significant achievements in environmental conservation across 17 nations and territories. Under local leadership, the organization has made substantial progress toward creating a nature-positive future that simultaneously benefits regional ecosystems and human communities.

Throughout the year, the team implemented a comprehensive ‘ridge to reef’ conservation strategy that combined global innovations with grassroots partnerships. Key accomplishments included advancing coral restoration through specialized learning exchanges that enhanced regional capacity to strengthen reef resilience. The division also intensified efforts to raise awareness about solutions addressing water pollution and its detrimental effects on coastal areas and waterways.

A cornerstone of their 2025 work involved employing scientific research and advanced tools to assist Caribbean nations in planning for sustainable environmental futures. By maintaining collaborative relationships with governments, local communities, and regional partners, the organization focused on creating lasting impact through an interconnected conservation ecosystem.

The progress reflects the dedication of the Caribbean Division team, whose local expertise has been instrumental in driving meaningful momentum toward preserving the region’s irreplaceable biodiversity while supporting communities that depend on these natural resources.
