A group of young conservationists joined Senator Michael Joseph and the Royalton Hotel for a special World Snake Day expedition to Bird Island, spotlighting efforts to protect the endangered Antiguan Racer.

The visit offered a rare encounter with the Antiguan Racer—one of the world’s rarest snakes—while promoting awareness of its fragile habitat and the broader importance of wildlife conservation.

Participants engaged in hands-on learning activities and heard from local experts about the ecological challenges facing the species. The event aimed to inspire greater community involvement in safeguarding Antigua and Barbuda’s natural heritage.
