Summary

Cayman Brac is a unique biodiverse ecosystem. Its dry tropical forest and limestone bluff is a distinctive environment within the Caribbean region. While rampant development in Grand Cayman poses a substantial threat to that island’s ecosystems, Cayman Brac is relatively undeveloped. Its unique biodiversity is still intact. This project proposes to prevent the degradation of Brac’s ecosystem through educating the local Brackers and tourists alike through ecotourism, designated natural habitat trails, and wildlife walks.
