Our partners, Union Island Environmental Alliance (UIEA), are in serious need of help.
The impact of Hurricane Beryl has been devastating. Homes have been destroyed, lives have been lost, communities are in ruins and this diverse ecosystem is in tatters.
Union Island is a shining beacon of our conservation efforts in the Caribbean – from preserving species to adapting to climate change – but the 150mph winds have demolished our ability to protect nature there.
All the infrastructure on the island is gone, and we can currently only reach the team via satellite phone – so we don’t know the full extent of the damage.
This island is home to the entire global population of the already critically endangered Union Island gecko. We don’t yet know how bad the damage to their habitat is, but the building for the project set up to protect them has been flattened.
The island, its species, our partners and its people now face a mammoth challenge.
Please donate today, and help our partners rebuild their lives and livelihoods and rescue our conservation programme.
100% of your donation will reach Union Island.
Nature is resilient and so are the people of Union Island – but they urgently need your help.
