Caribbean Area Biology

Updated July 18, 2012

El Yunque tropical forest, Puerto Rico.Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are known for their ecological and biological diversity. Caribbean Area NRCS staff work with private landowners in a voluntary effort to maintain or enhance wildlife production and value on private land. NRCS develops wildlife habitat evaluation procedures, conservation practice standards and specifications, as well as other technical resources to help improve and maintain habitat conditions for wildlife. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands employees, together with our partners, strive to assist landowners in implementing wildlife programs and to establish NRCS conservation practices that not only meet the clients' needs, but also ensure sustainability and health of the wildlife and fisheries habitat.
