Welcome

The unique natural world on our tiny islands demands that we stand together to safeguard biodiversity. That’s the idea at the heart of the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance.

On the six islands of the Dutch Caribbean, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St Eustatius and St Maarten, dedicated conservationists from many organisations are working hard to safeguard varied wildlife and habitats, both on the land and at sea.

By creating a united voice and sharing our resources, skills and experience, we can strengthen our individual conservation campaigns.

This is the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance, a non-profit organisation created to protect our natural environment and to promote sustainable management of natural resources on our six islands.

Through this website, we seek to record our efforts to realise these objectives through an innovative programme of fundraising outreach.

But more than that, we aim to provide a valuable online source of information and inspiration to colleagues, friends and supporters around the world who, like us, are united in their dedication to protecting our planet’s wealth of natural wonders.
