The successful removal of dozens of invasive goats from Battowia, one of the Caribbean’s most important seabird nesting islands, is a significant milestone achievement for the Grenadines Seabird Restoration Project implemented by EPIC and its partners.

A major conservation effort is underway in the Grenadines as EPIC and partners take action to restore fragile island ecosystems impacted by invasive species. Through a targeted and carefully managed goat removal operation, this work aims to protect native vegetation, stabilize habitats, and support the recovery of critical seabird nesting areas.
