Sandals Foundation Connects Students With Endangered Animals In Honor Of Earth Day
Sandals Foundation Connects Students With Endangered Animals In Honor Of Earth Day
The world is facing an unprecedented rate of destruction, reduction and extinction of plant and wildlife populations as a result of human activities, and the Caribbean region has felt the tremendous impact. In celebration of Earth Day on April 22, the Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International, underscored the importance of wildlife conservation by taking students on field trips to bring them face-to-face with endangered species across several Caribbean islands.
The field trips took place across Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. Each field trip brought students head-on with species such as hutias, flamingos, turtles, iguanas, Bahama Parrots, Sea Turtles, Wetland Tortoises, bats, boas and birds, allowing them to experience the true natural beauty of each island’s wildlife and understand the threats these species face and the measures needed to protect them.
“The children are the future and they are the ones who will inherit the earth so it is very important that we engage them as early as possible on how their actions and the actions of people around them could negatively affect plant and animal life,” said Bianca Young, Environmental Officer at the Sandals Foundation. “It is our hope that, by bringing them in direct contact with the endangered species and explaining the importance of biodiversity, they will have a better understanding of the urgency of this campaign.”
In Jamaica, students had the opportunity to visit the Montego Bay Marine Park Tour, the Black Safari Crocodile Tour and the Lacovia Zoo. Additionally, a handful of Negril students teamed up with volunteers from Sandals Ochi Beach Resort, Sandals Royal Plantation, Beaches Ocho Rios, the Sandals Golf & Country Club and the Forestry Department to plant 150 Blue Mahoe Seedlings at the Dunn’s River Watershed, one of Jamaica’s most popular attractions. Kisheima Black, a sixth-grade student from Priory Primary & Infant School in Jamaica, proudly noted, “I planted five Blue Mahoe seedlings and I feel really good knowing that I am making a difference to preserve our famous waterfall and also to create homes for our many birds and other wild life.”
Last month, the Sandals Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary with a pledge to double down on its efforts to promote and support sustainable environmental initiatives across the Caribbean.
