The Black-capped Petrel Working Group is a team of conservationists, researchers, and educators whose mission is to conserve the endangered Black-capped Petrel.
EPIC is passionate about the unique success realized through celebration and storytelling efforts of the Haitian communities involved in Black-capped Petrel conservation.
A threat to Black-capped Petrels, as with other seabirds that travel overland nocturnally, is mortality from strikes and groundings associated with artificial light.
EPIC’s research priorities are to track the population status of this endangered species, identify threats, and implement conservation actions to minimize those threats.
School children in the village of Boukan Chat, Haiti experience science and nature education focused on the ecology and biodiversity of their watershed.
EPIC and partners work to provide tools, resources, and training for Haitian farmers to grow sustainable crops to feed their community and provide ongoing income.
