Using ground and aerial baiting techniques, I spearheaded the eradication of a herd of feral goats and over 6,000 black rats that were causing a catastrophic decline in the island’s habitats and native wildlife as coordinator of the Redonda Restoration Programme. Remarkably, Redonda’s entire reptile fauna are critically endangered endemics and supports significant populations of nesting seabirds leading to its designation as a Key Biodiversity Area. Only 1 mile long, and surrounded by unstable cliffs, the island seemed like it could not sustain life. When applying for the Chevening Scholarship in 2018, I was employed by the Environmental Awareness Group (EAG), Antigua & Barbuda’s oldest environmental NGO, and has been at the forefront of conservation work for over 30 years, working for the benefit of people and wildlife.įor 3 years, I worked on a world-renown biodiversity project – tackling climate change by restoring habitats and preventing extinctions by removing invasive species on Redonda, the smallest island in the tripartite state of Antigua & Barbuda.
