Before scientists, government officers and bird enthusiasts can properly conserve important Virgin Islands bird species, they have to get a handle on which birds are here and where they nest, feed and breed.
To that end, the Conservation and Fisheries Department launched Birds of Paradise this week. The programme partners individual birders with officers from the CFD, other government agencies, and non-governmental organisations like the Jost Van Dykes Preservation Society and the Caribbean Youth Environmental Network.
