Links - Bird and Nature Tourism in the Caribbean - SCSCB Partners
One of the ways in which SCSCB is working to promote conservation and sustainable use of important sites and habitats for birds is through encouraging and helping to develop sustainable livelihoods through bird and nature tourism. One of our goals is to establish a Caribbean Birding Trail—birding hotspots mapped and described throughout the region along with resources to make it easy for you to visit these places, including bird and nature tour guides, websites, and ecotourism lodges. Listed below are some partners and resources in this new endeavor.
