How did IRF become involved with
the Antiguan Racer Conservation Project?
An Antiguan conservationist,
Kevel Lindsay, was seconded to IRF while working as a forester
for the Ministry of Agriculture. When he met Mark Day, a scientist
from Fauna & Flora International, the two men decided
to search for the Antiguan racer (see Raiders
of the Lost Snake). Later, after the racer was re-discovered,
Kevel moved to IRF permanently and persuaded the organisation
to join the fight to save the snake.
What is IRF's role in the project?
IRF has 25 years of experience in the region, working with
local people to find the best solutions to conservation problems.
The local knowledge of IRF staff like Kevel has been vital
to the success of the Antiguan Racer Conservation project,
helping the other partners to focus on the most important
issues.
