Caribbean Ecological Restoration Network

The Caribbean Ecological Restoration Network (CERN) is a collaborative effort aimed at reestablishing and conserving natural ecosystems across the Caribbean. It brings together scientists, communities, and organizations to restore degraded habitats like forests, reefs, and mangroves. By implementing scientific best practices, CERN helps improve biodiversity, protect water resources, and combat climate change. The network also promotes knowledge sharing and capacity building to ensure sustainable environmental stewardship, ultimately supporting healthier ecosystems that benefit both nature and local communities in the Caribbean region.
