What does EAG do?
EAG helps local people and visitors
from overseas to appreciate the importance of conserving the
wildlife and natural resources of Antigua and Barbuda. It
receives and gives out environmental information and works
on conservation projects in partnership with the Government,
the general public, private companies and overseas organisations.
Sherrod James is the new Executive Director of EAG who looks
after the day to day running of the organisation. He took
over from Gillian Cooper, who left EAG in 2000 after working
on the Antiguan racer project for five years.

What is EAG's role in the Antiguan
Racer Conservation Project?
Without the support of the local community and visiting tourists,
the Antiguan racer and the other wildlife of the offshore
islands have no future. Changing human behaviour and attitudes
is one of the project's most important activities. Carole
McCauley, Education Officer at EAG, is spearheading this campaign
(see Spreading
The Word).
