Description: The project aimed to protect Saba’s northern biodiversity and archaeological sites through the establishment of a 350-hectare national park, including Mt. Scenery, integrating natural, cultural, and historical elements for sustainable tourism. The project entailed drafting legislation for species protection, devising a management plan, and renovating the access trail to Mary’s Point, a historical settlement, to illustrate sustainable park usage. Information sessions engaged stakeholders and the public, fostering awareness and participation, while informative materials like brochures and panels were designed for visitor education. The restoration of the trail showcased the sustainable preservation of ruins while upgrading specific features. Staff underwent specialised training in trail renovation and archaeological site conservation. Overall, the project successfully laid the foundation for species protection laws, national park establishment, and the promotion of sustainable tourism by harmonising natural and cultural heritage, thus contributing to safeguarding the biodiversity and historical richness of Saba’s northern region.
