We have consulted with the BNT and other local NGOs to develop a conservation management plan for the island, inclusive of a banding program for the White-crowned pigeon (Patagioenas leucocephala), that is listed as near threatened by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). They are native to the island and we are making it a strong focus to sustain their population. It is supported by scientists at the Bahamas National Trust that this would give accurate numbers on the population in order to help preserve the species.
