UPCOMING PROJECTS
The design and planning phase is almost complete on the following
projects:
Biodiversity
The Jamaican Biodiversity component will seek to develop a range
of interventions including: information gathering, conservation,
training and the establishment of a virtual herbarium all geared
at the conservation of the country’s biological diversity
with a focus on endemic species.
It is anticipated that a grant contribution from the Environmental
Foundation of Jamaica over a period of three years, with allocation
for each of the three components, will establish a sufficiently
strong base to serve a number of purposes, viz:
- To begin to effect some positive, quantifiable changes in response
to the National Forest Management and Development Plan.
- To demonstrate to the general public a tangible improved difference
in the state of the environment through the visual impact of re-forested
areas, established and available databases etc.
- To act as leverage for attracting additional financial and technical
support locally as well as overseas. .
