Once again, the team here at the Island Research Institute is on the move! The Department of Nature and Island Resources of the West Indes has reached out to us for aid in saving a declining population of rodent species on the island of St. Kitts. Our team is familiar with all kinds of island dwelling creatures, but this will be our first focused study of a native rodent population.
We will be taking the next few days to gather information regarding the island and its nearby neighbors. After we get our bearings, we'll be off and running! So, keep an eye out for upcoming posts to learn about the fate of St. Kitts' cutest rodent!
