| Desc | The Black-capped Petrel Program - The Black-capped Petrel is the rarest seabird in the Caribbean. This iconic bird nests in some of the last known ancient forests on Hispaniola. The intersection of human development and petrel nesting habitat has led to the rapid decline of the species population and has been a major call to action for EPIC to turn its focus to conserving this keystone bird. Over the last decade, EPIC has located new nesting areas, worked with communities to reduce human impacts on forests, removed introduced predators out of nest areas, and reduced threats to flying petrels through the removal of dangerous strike hazards. Additionally, we have increased the capacity of local organizations to direct their conservation efforts on protecting the petrel through training programs focusing on research, sustainable agriculture, youth education, and grant writing. Our research shows that Black-capped Petrel nesting populations have stabilized in locations where we work, a clear indication of the successful impact of our conservation efforts. This year, fundraising and administrative costs were a higher overall ratio of expenses than usual due to COVID-19 impacts, which curtailed some program implementation and expenses. | Desc |

| Desc | The Grenadines Seabird Program is protecting the highly significant seabird breeding populations in the transboundary archipelago of Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, covering a total of 74 sites, including 3 sites of global significance and 18 significant to the Caribbean. Seabirds are experiencing worldwide populations declines estimated at 70% so addressing the impacts of poaching, plastic pollution and introduced predators is essential. This program focuses on research, monitoring, education, and conservation planning. A total of 70 citizen scientists are currently trained as members of the Grenadines Seabird Guardians, a group that monitors populations at remote, uninhabited islands. While coronavirus restrictions limited outreach this past year, the program has reached over 3,000 participants with demonstrated increases in knowledge, concern, and pride regarding seabirds. A successful remote waste-to-art contest raised awareness of the issue of pollution in marine habitats. The Grenadines Seabird Conservation Plan Working Group, comprised of local stakeholders, met virtually during the year to prioritize conservation actions for protecting these imperiled populations. This year, fundraising and administrative costs were a higher overall ratio of expenses than usual due to COVID-19 impacts, which curtailed some program implementation and expenses. | Desc |
