	St. Vincent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		BOTANICAL GARDEN: The St. Vincent Botanical Gardens are the oldest in the Western Hemisphere and they occupy 20 acres of land one mile out of Kingstown.
		St Vincent and the Grenadines being a small agricultural country, the move to full independence started relatively late, after the break up of the West Indies Federation, of which it had been a member, in 1962.
		It is 25 miles south of St. Vincent and 11 miles south of Mustiques.

	Untitled Document
		The susceptibility of its national bird to disaster led the government of St Vincent and the Grenadines to form a species conservation committee, the "International Captive Breeding Consortium for the St Vincent Parrot", which included a significant portion of the institutions and private individuals that held the species in captivity.
		Its main thrust though was the maintenance of a viable captive population of the St Vincent parrot outside of its home country, and to assist in the management of the privately held parrots on the island of St Vincent.
		Renamed as the "St Vincent Parrot Conservation Consortium" (SVPCC) in late 2001, it now functions as an advisory body to the Government of St Vincent and the Grenadines in every aspect of importance to the conservation of the species, and from 2003 the LPF has been Secretary to the SVPCC.

	Caribbean Net News: St Vincent Parrot Conservation group also opposes cross-country road
		I was very interested to see the article of March 3, 2005 by your correspondent Kenton Chance entitled 'International group opposes St Vincent's cross-country road'.
		The SVPCC is an official advisory body to the Government of St Vincent and The Grenadines regarding the national bird Amazona guildingii (which is a threatened species) and how best to ensure its survival.
		The SVPCC is very supportive of the effective development of the island, and especially for this reason counsels the Government of St Vincent and The Grenadines to route the road in an alternative zone such the development will be sustainable in the long term.

	Cross-country road divides St Vincent Parrot habitat — and St Vincent people
		The globally threatened St Vincent Parrot, national bird of St Vincent and the Grenadines, is under threat from a cross-country road funded by the Taiwanese Government.
		The Environmental Investigation and Cataloguing study, by Ivor Jackson and Associates, warned that the illegal trade in parrot eggs and chicks is still a threat to its survival, and that marijuana farming already severely threatens its habitat.
		St Vincent’s opposition, the New Democratic Party, has come out strongly against the road, claiming that it is "an election gimmick" by the ruling Unity Labour Party, and accusing the government of putting "unnecessary levels of pressure" on the Taiwanese to fund this and other projects.

	Scientific American: Protecting St. Vincent Amazon Parrots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		These St. Vincent Amazon parrots, miles from their natural habitat and oblivious to the plight of their relatives on an island in the Caribbean Sea, live a protected life at the World of Birds exhibit.
		The researchers analyzed 23 previous studies of parrot ecology and behavior in the Neotropics—an area that includes Central and South America, parts of southern Mexico and the West Indies—and determined that, on average, as many as 30 percent of all parrots' nests were poached.
		Because parrots have low reproductive success—a pair will typically produce only one clutch of two or three eggs a year—some species may not be able to sustain the pressure from such prevalent raids, the authors write.

	Impressions of St. Vincent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		St. Vincent and the Grenadines is in the southern, or windward, group of Caribbean islands: the "Lesser" antilles.["Lesser" as compared to Cuba or Puerto Rico.] It lies west of Barbados, north of Grenada and The Grenadines, and south of St. Lucia.
		We chose St. Vincent partly because it is a "green" island rather than a "dry" island; "green" because the mountains force the moist tropical breezes up to cooler altitudes and produce rain forests on the higher slopes.
		St. Vincent isn't the southernmost of the Windward Islands (that honor goes to Grenada) but it is almost there and the climate is tropical.

		When the World Parrot Trust began to support this species in 1990 it was the least numerous parrot in the world, with only about 15 individuals left in the wild and none in captivity.
		In 1994 we were able to send one of our four Parrot Buses (created in partnership with Paul Butler of RARE Centre) to St Vincent, where it is used to educate the island's children about the importance of preserving the remaining rainforest, not just for the parrots, but to ensure the island's water supply.
		We have also sent Dr Andrew Greenwood to advise on the government's breeding programme for the St Vincent Parrot and we are in the process of building a new display aviary in the famous Botanical Gardens in Kingstown.
