BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
The BVI have a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the 1st century AD. The islands were first settled by the Dutch in the 16th century, and later came under British control. Today, the BVI are self-governing, with a parliamentary democracy and a governor who represents the British monarch. The BVI are home to a number of protected areas, including the Virgin Islands National Park on the island of St. John, which is part of the United States Virgin Islands. The park covers about half of the island and includes a number of hiking trails, as well as beaches and coral reefs. The BVI also have several marine parks, including the Anegada Reef National Park and the Jost Van Dyke Marine Park, which protect the region's marine life and ecosystems.
