The United Nations has declared the period 2011 – 2020 as the Decade on Biodiversity with the theme Living in Harmony with Nature. In recognition of the decade, the Jamaica CHM will periodically highlight fact sheets and educational snippets on policy, planning and on-the-ground conservation related to biodiversity and human development.

 

Please visit the top right of the CHM home page (www.jamaicachm.org.jm) for the feature on national biodiversity strategies and action plans and also see the Economics, Trade and Incentive Measures link at the bottom of the page.
