Ecosystem Profile for the Caribbean Islands Biodiversity Hotspot

CEPF’s niche for investment in the Caribbean Islands Hotspot is outlined in the Ecosystem Profile (see full document in English, French and Spanish) which presents an overview of the hotspot in terms of its biological importance, climate change impacts, major threats to and root causes of biodiversity loss, socioeconomic context and current conservation investments. It identifies the strategic directions and investment priorities as well as 45 Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and six conservation corridors covering 28 KBAs as priorities for funding support (see maps of the Caribbean islands biodiversity hotspot).

The Ecosystem Profile was formulated through a participatory process that engaged over 200 stakeholders representing more than 160 civil society, donor and governmental organisations and institutions throughout the Caribbean region.
