Full title: Controlling the Impact of Exotic Mammals on Biodiversity in the Antilles - CIMBA
Aims: To control the impact of exotic mammals on the biodiversity of several territories in the insular Caribbean through scientific studies, optimization of management methods, and awareness-raising actions.
Location: Guadeloupe, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic
Dates: 2024-2027
Summary: The CIMBA project aims to mitigate the impact of invasive exotic mammals on the biodiversity of the Antilles. Four species are particularly targeted: rats, mongooses, dogs, and cats. The project combines scientific studies, optimization of control techniques, and awareness-raising among local populations. Conducted in Guadeloupe, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, it relies on strong regional collaboration and innovative approaches. This research-action project contributes to the preservation of local ecosystems while strengthening the capacities of involved stakeholders. Supported by the INTERREG Caribbean program, it is scheduled to conclude in September 2027.
Project partners
The CIMBA project is led by the Caribaea Initiative association, in partnership with the FOKAL Foundation (Haiti) and Grupo Jaragua (Dominican Republic).
