Would you like to help restore St Helena’s extraordinary cloud forest? Are you a great team
builder? If so, this could be the opportunity for you.
We have an exciting opportunity for someone to play a critical supporting role with our lead
partner (St Helena Government) to deliver an incredibly exciting collaborative,
partnership-based project to scale up cloud forest restoration efforts on the island of St
Helena, a UK Overseas Territory in the south Atlantic.
The cloud forest is safeguarded in the ‘Peaks National Park’, but only 16 hectares of old
growth cloud forest fragments remain on the highest peaks and steepest slopes. The remaining
cloud forest is arguably the single most important site anywhere on British soil for species:
at least 250 unique species are found entirely or nearly entirely in these fragments. This
represents 1/6th of all unique British wildlife. Restoring the forest is critical for climate
change as most of the island’s water comes from catchments in the central Peaks area of the
island, and the majority (60%) of this is derived from mist capture, which is most effectively
achieved by the native cloud forest.
Through a highly collaborative process, a project-partnership has been formed with funding
secured from the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to deliver
the island’s collective vision for the future; aiming to restore St Helena’s iconic cloud
forest for wildlife, water security and for people.
