​We have taken an interdisciplinary approach to stray dog population management. In a human-dog ecosystem the needs of all organisms are important. In the Bahamas only 10% of food is grown locally, and our dog population is too large. This speaks to a need for a adjusting for how we approach conservation and environmental issues. The national policy of culling is inconsistent with animal rights advocates. Similarly the Ministry of Agriculture is also manages and advocates for sustainable food supplies, the creation of backyard farms, and community based farmers markets.

We at Pat's Nature Garden have taken a novel approach by combining these humans and dogs related needs. For our beloved dos this would involve onsite rescue,rehabilitation, and re-homing, while in regard to the at risk dog population, we are working toward the establishment of sanctuary that incorporates sustainable eco-friendly approaches, such as a Silvopasture, Agroforestry, and even Wildlife Corridors connecting the site to the Perpall Track National Park.
