55 8: The Cayman Islands Cuba Turks & Caicos Islands North Atlantic Ocean CAYMAN ISLANDS Jamaica Haiti Dominican Republic Puerto Rico British Virgin Islands Montserrat Anguilla Antigua & Barbuda Guadeloupe Caribbean Sea St Lucia Grenada Barbados Trinidad & Grand Cayman blue-throated anole Anolis conspersus Introduction The three Cayman Islands are situated at the western end of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean. Their combined land area is 259 km 2 . The largest of the islands is Grand Cayman with an area of 197 km 2 . The population of the islands in 1990 was recorded as 25,355. The economy is based on tourism and the offshore finance industry. Most of the population of the Caymans lives on Grand Cayman where rapid development has transformed the island’s environment. Development pressures on the island, and on Cayman Brac, continue to be the main threat to biodiversity. Little Cayman with a population of less than 100, has until recently remained relatively little disturbed. The number of buildings has, however, doubled in the past few years. International obligations relevant to nature conservation Cayman Islands are included in the UK’s ratification of the following international agreements: • Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (World Heritage Convention) • Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar Convention) • Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
