British Virgin Islands / Special Interests / Conservation
With such beautiful and pristine surroundings, it’s not surprising that the BVI’s have taken action to preserve the local environment. This collection of 60 islands has 21 national parks covering land and marine areas including tropical forests, historic sites, bird sanctuaries and even an old copper mine.
The National Parks Trust has a small number of projects designed to protect and restore the natural life of the islands, but its overall responsibility lies with protecting the natural assets of the territory through the 21 national parks.
