This talk is one of a series which give a unique insight a major conservation project in the Dominican Republic.
It has been known for some time that islands are a far more vunerable to extinctions than mainland areas, but wht is human impact so much greater on islands? Using the example of Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic) and with a focus on the last two endemic non-flying mammals (Solenodon and Hutia) this talk outlines some of the threats being faced by both wildlife and their associated habitata on the island. From hunting through to deforestation and other less obvious but just as destructive threats - the challenge is a massive one for everyone involved in conservation efforts on the island.
