Barbados Nature Reserve
Barbados, Saint Peter

The Barbados Nature Reserve is located in the northern part of the island of Barbados, in the parish of St. Peter, next to Farley Hill National Park. In 1982, the Canadian primatologists Jean and Suzanne Boll founded the Research Center for the study of green monkeys brought to Barbados in the 17th century, which took root well and spread throughout the island. In 1985, on the basis of the Center, on 4 acres of mahogany forest, the Barbados Nature Reserve was created. In addition to green monkeys, the reserve is inhabited by agouti, armadillos, large mazama, Patagonian mara, Cuban mountain iguana, coal turtle, caimans, peacocks, guinea fowl, pelicans, flamingos. Most animals freely walk around the reserve, for tropical birds (macaws, lovebirds, finches, mustached parrot, cockatiels, cockatoo and budgerigars) spacious aviaries are built. The reserve has a small serpentarium; caimans, pelicans and pink flamingos live in small artificial reservoirs. While walking around the reserve, visitors can watch exotic animals and birds in their natural habitat, see how green monkeys and other animals are fed, and also visit the Grenade Hall Signal Station, built in 1819. For visitors to the reserve, hiking trails, recreation areas are equipped, there is a bar and a snack bar.
