The Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve is recorded as one of the oldest legally protected forest reserve geared specifically towards conservation.
The Main Ridge is literally the backbone of the island of Tobago, it encompasses 3958 hectares of tropical rainforest specifically lower montane, lowland and xerophytic rainforest. This area receives the greatest amount of rainfall, the greatest exposure to wind and the lowest temperatures, making it an Evergreen Forest. The lowland rainforest is characterized by copious growth and is said to be the most prolific of all forest types.
The Main Ridge Forest Reserve is home to a number of flora and fauna; it is estimated that the rainforest provides habitats for twelve to sixteen species of mammals out of the nearly ninety mammal species in the Caribbean region.
Also, the Main Ridge Forest Reserve was voted the "World's Leading Eco-Tourism destination" for three years by the World Travel Awards.

We in Trinidad and Tobago often take what we have for granted, until a foreign guest or visitor reminds us of how truly beautiful our twin island state is.
