Getting to know the Saint Lucia Racer

A short documentary on the world's rarest snake, the Saint Lucia Racer, found only on Maria Major in the Maria Islands Nature Reserve, Saint Lucia. The Saint Lucia National Trust and the Forestry Department have partnered with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and Flora & Fauna International to protect the snake's habitat, while studying it to develop a strategy to increase its population.

Saint Lucia's iconic Pitons -- a pair of volcanic spires that vault upward from the Caribbean Sea -- define one of the region's most romantic destinations. Though the trademark vistas that surround the Pitons are perhaps the most memorable, Saint Lucia delivers robust, varied scenery from head to toe. Simply put, the island looks the way the Caribbean is supposed to look.

Castries, the island's capital, is a busy hub of island commerce and culture. An active cruise-ship port, visitors can invest a few hours at one f two duty-free shopping pavilions along the waterfront. Artists showcase paintings and sculptures in several galleries. Just a few steps from the harbor is the market, where vendors have gathered for more than 100 years to sell a bounty of fresh produce alongside fishermen hawking king mackerel, mahi-mahi and wahoo.

Vieux Fort, St. Lucia Time Lapse

Vieux Fort is located in the southern part of St. Lucia. It is the second-largest town on the island and is the home of St Lucia's international airport, Hewanorra International Airport. (Hewanorra is the island's old Amerindian name). Vieux Fort is also the name of the Quarter that encompasses the city.

In the second half of the 18th century, Vieux Fort was the center of St Lucia's sugar industry; today it is more industrial.

Part of Vieux Fort is called Black Bay. It got its name because legend has it that the infamous pirate Blackbeard used this part of the country to stash his ill-gotten gains.

During the Second World War, Vieux Fort became a base for American troops. Some of the evidence can still be seen around town, such as the underground tunnel that runs from Clark Street all the way to St. Judes Hospital in Augier. This tunnel was used for storage of supplies and also a quick route to the hospital. Many people who reside in Vieux-Fort today have no idea about such a tunnel.

In recent years a new modern part of Vieux Fort has been erected to reflect the modern world, yet if you walk along Clark Street and its surrounding roads, you will still see what is known as The Old Town. Here you will see historic colonial houses that give Vieux Fort a touch of Old England and France (albeit they do need a bit of renovation now). In recent times Black Bay has become a haven for expatriates.

Whilst the majority of tourist activity in Saint Lucia is based on the West coast, some hotels are located in Vieux Fort Quarter. A notable tourist attraction is the Maria Islands Nature Reserve, managed by the Saint Lucia National Trust, which is a nesting ground for leatherback turtles and is home to a species of iguana indigenous to St. Lucia.

Snakes alive

Conservationists in Saint Lucia say they will be working hard to ensure that the world's rarest snake which is found on the Island, does not become extinct.
The Saint Lucia Racer is currently found only in a small area.
