Saint Lucia is a small island located in the eastern Caribbean and is part of the Lesser Antilles. It has an area of ​​620 km2 and is considered one of the smallest countries in the world.

It is famous for the Pitons, a pair of jagged mountains that rise from the west coast, which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are visible from virtually anywhere on the island and serve as a distinctive landmark for sailors.

The island is also the only home to the Jacquot , a bird endemic to Saint Lucia. The habitat available to the species has been reduced by approximately 50% since the 1950s due to increasing land demand from the rapidly growing human population.
