Overall, the Key Conservation Issues are issues that affect the ability of species to thrive in the current habitats that we promote. For example, some species are affected by land use change, other species are affected by drought. Most SGCN are affected by multiple issues, making their conservation complicated.
One of the many projects to look at catastrophic risk involved the entire USVI Community and resulted in the USVI Hazard Mitigation & Resilience Plan. Other conservation issues are detailed in the Hazard Mitigation Plan.
