Biodiversity within the Caribbean islands of Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) is under threat from a variety of sources, including expanding and unsustainable agricultural practices, invasive species  encroaching into native forests, tourism development, harvesting, pollution from solid wastes/sewage and oil spills.

To address these threats to both the terrestrial and marine ecosystems, sustainable land use management and biodiversity conservation have to be mainstreamed into national land use planning, sector policies, and legal frameworks. Further, climate smart agricultural practices should be an integral part of sustainable land use management to ensure long term sustainability of agricultural production at the community and producer level, supported through a set of nationally managed financial, technical and information services.
