Project List
This project has emerged from a Planning Grant with which a major output was a conservation plan for the endemic Saint Lucia viper – Bothrops caribbaeus. The project objectives are to: (i) To significantly reduce the risk and consequences from snake bites by disseminating factual information in communities and to workers with a high probability of encountering the viper; (ii) To design and establish a standardized system for managing snake bites which is resourced with trained professionals who are able to treat, research and learn from incidents; (iii) To develop, implement and monitor a zero-kill policy for the Fer de Lance within all Forest Reserves in Saint Lucia; (iv) To design and implement a knowledge transfer programme in which 80% of Saint Lucians in snake areas understand and know how to behave in snake areas and what to do in case of envenomation; (v) To undertake field research on the Fer De Lance which will lead to a better understanding of the species which includes habitat preference, genetic status etc.; (vi) To establish a management structure to oversee research, develop an information data base, monitor and evaluate various interventions and ensure that the species is effectively managed to avoid extinction.
