The endangered species program for the U.S. Virgin Islands focuses its attention on Leatherback sea turtles.  Sandy Point, which is located on the southwest corner of St. Croix, is the largest leatherback nesting beach in the United States. There are many of other animals and plants in the territory that are under consideration for conservation and management projects when funding becomes available.

 Annual reports on the status of our various endangered species are available on this site.
