The Peaks Project: Conservation in the 'Galapagos of the South Atlantic'

the original for conservation work start with here the late 90s for a pmcid but since since 2000 there's been a sort of permanent team up here so and they've been essentially doing the restoration work on this site and keeping the past clean and things like that but what we're doing now we're ramping that up so the government still funds the recurrent team might be able just about six guys mm-hmm and they fund part of the nursery team down there this this team here my team is project funded so we've been been running on mainly on Darwin funding so we've just run this is the second three-year Darwin project that ran straight on was from the back of it previous month there's a peaked management Yong which is which is looking at the next 10 to 20 years up here and that sort of has three strands to it one is one is protecting the biodiversity and the conservation side one is increasing the water interception potential up here and nil one is obviously to develop the area for tourism to improve tourism sort of accessing facilities yeah so those three strands are in that project and once that's been approved on island then funding we're told by our partners in the UK that is pretty certainly if we can get it approved here we get funding in the UK so that that could be a 10-year project
