Nature Island is what we call it and Nature Island is what we want to keep it. Dominica is a mountainous island of volcanic origin, only 290 square miles. Eighty percent of the island has 2,500 mm or more of rainfall each year, with up to 10,000 mm (10 metres) in the central mountains. Over two thirds of Dominica is covered by primary tropical rainforests, with more than 1,200 species of flowering plants and up to 60 species of trees per hectare. Two endemic parrots are endangered - the Imperial Parrot or Sisserou (amazona imperialis - Dominica's national bird, of which a population of 80 individuals remained in 1990), and the Red-necked Parrot or Jacquot (amazona arausiaca - population of 300 to 400 in 1990). Dominica was the last Caribbean island to be colonised by Europeans. Ninety percent of the population lives along the coast. Dominica is also unique as home to the only remaining Amerindian indigenous population in the Caribbean. The Carib people, originally known as Kalinago, live on a 3,700 acre reserve on the north-east coast of Dominica. Most of the population of 3,400 people are farmers, fishermen, or craft producers. The Carib Territory was established in 1903 and full ownership to the land was vested in the Carib Council in 1978. It is the only district where it is not possible to own or buy land, with communal title held by the Carib Council, providing an element of independence. The Carib name for Dominica is Waitukubuli, meaning "Tall or Old is Her Body," reflecting Waitukubuli's mountainous, aged and protective characteristics for her people.
