Anguilla National Trust Night Hike

Anguilla National Trust Nature Week brought the island’s unique wildlife and conservation efforts into sharp focus, beginning with a guid...

Spotlight: Tracking Anguilla’s migratory insects

In Anguilla, our teams are deploying AMI traps, acoustic recorders and environmental sensors to understand how migratory insects move across coastal and inland habitats.

These data support local partners and decision-makers, helping them design conservation actions that work for both biodiversity and communities.
