Bio-diversity

This project will help the grantee to identify ten poor and marginalised farmers (50% men and 50% women) to assist in a project which promotes the conservation of the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep an indigenous species to Barbados. The grant will help to cover the cost of workshops and seminars, general research into existing conditions of the potential project participants, selection of project participants, and preparation of the full grant proposal. During the planning process the grantee will also establish contact with the University of the West Indies on genetic fingerprinting.
