Background:
The National Trust for the Cayman Islands is a nonprofit, non-governmental organisation created to preserve the history and biodiversity of the Cayman Islands. Through education, outreach and conservation, we work to protect environmentally sensitive and historically significant sites across all three Cayman Islands.
This position will support delivery of the UK Government funded Darwin Plus grant to “Empowering and preparing Cayman’s Sister Islands to tackle invasive mammals” in partnership with CIG Department of Environment (DoE) and Royal Society for Protection of Birds (RSPB). The future of the unique native biodiversity of Cayman’s Sister Islands, including the Critically Endangered Sister Islands Rock Iguana, is seriously threatened by invasive non-native mammals, especially feral and domestic cats, as well as rats. This project will ensure that local agencies and the Sister Islands’ community are prepared to collaboratively deliver long-term strategies to sustainably protect native biodiversity by enhancing responsible pet management, developing a feral cat eradication plan, and increasing on-island capacity to implement enhanced biosecurity and invasive mammal suppression, long term.
