Royal couple visit Caribbean Darwin project

During a tour of the Caribbean, HRH the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Montserrat - a UK overseas territory - partly to learn more about the environment and the island's threatened wildlife. While there they visited a Darwin project - Enabling the People of Montserrat to Conserve the Centre Hills.

Since volcanic activity has devastated most of the southern forests and mountains, the Centre Hills have become the last remaining habitat for numerous threatened species. The Darwin Project is assisting in establishing the Centre Hills as the first Protected Area on Montserrat.

More information about the Royal visit are available in the news release on the RSPB website.
