Today, Kittitians know little about bats of the island, and have a great fear of them, due in part to misinformation, limited awareness, knowledge, and ecology of the species, and a disconnect from their surrounding natural environment. The ( ... )
nect and the anxiety they often cause contribute to a lack of available information, local research and institutional know-how, capacity and passion for the conservation, management and protection of the species and their habitats, since this social and cultural environment engenders little interest in the conservation and management of bats.

This project seeks to address the need for continuous, extended environmental awareness and training activities and programmes for children (boys and girls) 5-15 years old in St. Kitts and Nevis. As the world continue to face serious climate change ( ... )
, it is imperative that children can educated at an early age about these issues and the impact they have on our lives now and theirs in the future. Future environmental sustainability hinges on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of our children who must be taught to better manage, protect and preserve our natural resources and our heritage. The outcome may not be executed in a short time

In such a system the processing of the livestock manure by anaerobic digestion is a key component as it has many positive features such as reduction in emission of methane (a major factor in global warming), decrease in pathogens (better health of people and animals), production of biogas for farm lighting, and improved nutrient recycling (reduced need for

The presence of trees will also mean an increase in the water table level due to an increase in infiltration of water and a reduction in runoff and thus add to our fresh water supply. The trees will act as a wind break thus reducing the
