A luxury resort developer employed by the Four Seasons hotel chain has hired a biologist to survey a rare bird species in the national park where it plans to build a new high-end getaway. Grenada developer Cinnamon88, whose sprawling Four Seasons project is opposed by international conservation groups, vowed in a letter to the government earlier this month that it would preserve a habitat for the endangered Grenada dove. Only about 200 of the birds are thought to exist in the world. But George Wallace, a vice president at the American Bird Conservancy, said Friday that he worried conservationists would have no opportunity to comment on the survey's results. Grenada's government and Toronto-based Four Seasons Hotels Inc. have not yet reached a final agreement on the project, Jennifer Allured, an adviser to Grenada's prime minister, said. Mount Hartman National Park is believed to be home to roughly 40 Grenada doves - about a fifth of the endangered birds' global population, according to Birdlife International, a U.K.-based alliance of conservation groups.
