Saint Martin environmental NGOs sign cross-border conservation partnership
Two leading environmental NGOs on the island of Saint Martin have signed a landmark agreement to enhance cross-border conservation efforts. The Nature Foundation Sint Maarten (NFSXM) and l’Association de Gestion de la Réserve Naturelle de Saint-Martin (AGRNSM) are thrilled to announce the long-anticipated signature of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between their organizations. Though signed internally in March, the formal agreement was publicly celebrated at a ceremony held at the Great Salt Pond’s birding platform on the morning of June 30, 2025. The official partnership allows for systematic, long-term collaboration between the two principal nature reserve managers on Sint Maarten and Saint-Martin. The organizations can now easily share human resources, exchange critical data, and carry out scientific research and educational programming together.
