The creators of this website hope to encourage the conservation of
the Cayman Islands unique flora & fauna by promoting an understanding
of the connections between plants and animals. We endeavor to connect
with existing organizations to highlight native flora and fauna as a
part of the Cayman Islands' national identity and endorse the concept
that it is economically feasible to retain original vegetation during
development as well as to foster the awareness that native vegetation
is vital to the survival of native butterflies, birds and other wild
animals. We promote eco-friendly, non-lethal solutions for living in
harmony with all native wildlife. We hope to cultivate the love of nature
for its own sake and to underscore the educational value and tourism
benefits of local plants, butterflies and animals. |
"The animal shall
not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours,
they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of senses we
have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They
are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught
with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor
and travail of the earth." Henry Beston |
