The LAPWENT LOKAL project, ‘The Caribbean Nursery’, aims to address biodiversity issues in the municipality. The transformation of this area in less than a century has severely degraded ecosystems and increased the city’s exposure to natural hazards. Today, biodiversity is in danger, and some species are threatened with extinction. For these reasons, the city of Pointe-à-Pitre must strengthen the current vegetation network and contribute to the restoration of ecological continuity identified on the archipelago, by acting on various existing or future green spaces. Among these, the Darboussier heritage site offers the possibility of recreating a wooded park that combines educational interest in promoting local flora with ecological functions.
Currently, the city of Pointe-à-Pitre is a member of the Cap Excellence urban community, which does not have an inter-municipal nursery. This is why the city wishes to create its first nursery, so that it can control plant production and begin restoring degraded sites.
