Biodiversity Briefs
A space where science meets the wild.
Our Biodiversity Briefs highlight the stories, discoveries, and research that shape our conservation efforts across Trinidad and Tobago.
Here, we share scientific articles, observational records, and conservation-focused field notes gathered by our team, visiting researchers, and conservation partners.
From rare bird sightings to habitat and behavioral studies, we aim to bridge fieldwork with public awareness, strengthening the connection between nature, science, and community.
By providing transparent access to research findings, we hope to inspire future conservation initiatives with an aim to promote research tourism.
ASA WRIGHT NATURE CENTRE
Our involvement with Asa Wright Nature Centre is the natural result of our love for our country, for nature and the desire to protect and preserve our environment for future generations to enjoy.
There is something special about Asa Wright Nature Centre. We have made great memories here, and when the opportunity arose to invest in this project by managing the operations of the ecolodge, we knew we were up to the challenge.
This is an investment of love and of pride in our country and what it has to offer.
MT. PLAISIR ESTATE HOTEL
HADCO Group was the first choice for Piero Guerrini, the former owner of Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel, when he decided to sell the property. Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel was acquired in 2021 and renovated; and the doors to this rural hideaway were reopened in November, 2023.
In the design and renovation process, we have maintained as many elements of the original structure as possible, so as to preserve the history and charm of the original hotel.
The location of Mt. Plaisir is incredibly special, as it sits on the shores of the beach that is renowned worldwide as being the highest density nesting site for the endangered Leatherback turtle in the world.
PAWI LODGE
Pawi Lodge in Grande Riviere is another property that is ideal for spending the day or overnighting for avid birders and hikers visiting the area.
Take a break and lounge in the verandah while you enjoy a meal. Enjoy the ambience of the forest as you breathe in the crisp air. You may just be lucky to spot an endangered Pawi in the nearby trees!
