The Darwin Initiative Project: “Integrating National Parks, Education and Community Development (British Virgin Islands (BVI))” ran from 1998 to 2002 and was a collaborative project between the British Virgin Islands National Parks Trust (BVINPT), Fauna & Flora International and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew). This project documented the plants and animals of Gorda Peak National Park on Virgin Gorda and of a proposed protected wetland area on Anegada.  Further information about RBG Kews work in the British Virgin Islands can be found on the RBG Kew website
