Protection of ecosystems via locally led, community sustained solutions

Biflores Biodiversity Conservation Association.

  • Brava: Cape Verde’s smallest inhabited island (64 sq km).
  • Brava, despite its small size, boasts the highest flora species density and the highest percentage of threatened taxa (79%).
  • Brava’s unique microclimates, shaped by altitude, trade winds, and ocean proximity, create diverse habitats. From coastal plains to highland forests, they support a wide range of species adapted to these unique conditions.
