Feel invited to take a walk with us and experience the history, biodiversity, key stakeholders, and vision of the Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve — the oldest legally protected tropical rainforest in the world.
This tiny yet remarkable gem holds deep cultural and ecological significance, and we are proud to share its story with our Caribbean sister isles through the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme. For every Tobagonian, the Main Ridge Forest Reserve represents a legacy of deeply respected heritage and cherished personal memories.
The Environmental Research Institute Charlotteville extends a heartfelt thanks to the German Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago and the German Federal Foreign Office for their generous support in making this publication possible.
​In our other coffee table book, "Hidden Art of the North-east Tobago UNESCO Biosphere Reserve", you'll discover how this connection is beautifully expressed through the art of North-East Tobago — a reflection of the profound relationship between community, culture, and the natural environment.
