Motherhood is a shared experience between species. Today, we give our gratitude to the maternal caretakers of the world - whether feathered, furred, or bare-skinned.
High in the branches of a sea grape tree, this green-throated Carib hummingbird hovers around her nest, caring for the open-beaked baby within it. These moments are always a privilege to witness.
Happy Mother’s Day to all who nurture.

The Nature Foundation Sint Maarten is teaming up with the St. Maarten Medical Center for the second year in a row for SXM DOET 2026! We’ll be cleaning up Little Bay Pond, one of the island’s key ecological sites and an area of great historical importance.
The waste along its banks negatively affects the wildlife, the water and the community around it. Last time SMCC and NFSXM organized this clean-up, 65 volunteers removed 5 truckloads of trash in just 2 hours. Come be part of the management actions this year.
No experience needed. Gloves provided. Wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and clothes you can get dirty in — you may get a bit muddy!
