The Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus) and hutia (Plagiodontia aedium) are the only two survivors on the once rich mammal fauna of Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic) The “Last Survivors” project is a collaboration between British and Dominican conservation organisations which enables long-term conservation of these two endangered species through a strengthened evidence-base, large-scale monitoring, improved awareness and participatory species action planning.
