Nearly 300 people learned about the animals that live only on St Martin at the fifth annual Endemic Animal Festival Sunday. They were welcomed by over 30 volunteers and experts sharing diverse topics like nature in St Martin literature, sharks, iguanas, native plants and animals, stone walls and local building traditions. The event was hosted by Les Fruits de Mer Association at ‘The Old House’ in the French Quarter in St Martin.
According to a press release dated 23rd May 2018, Les Fruits de Mer President Jenn Yerkes said “We were thrilled to see so many people having fun and discovering this island’s unique animals!”. “This was our first public event at Museum Naturalis at The Old House. We’re working with the community to make this a place where many voices share what is special about St. Martin. So we were also really excited to invite local experts to present. They used this year’s theme—Made Here—to connect local wildlife to many other parts of local heritage.”
