Currently, the approximate annual inflows for protected areas management, including revenues from Government of Jamaica, are US$6.4M, leaving a shortfall of US$2 Million required per annum.

Our Protected Areas

Jamaica’s breath-taking beauty and appeal as a great place to live and visit, is underpinned by a rich eco-system of nestling mountain ranges, terrestrial national parks, forest and game reserves, rivers, marine parks, fish sanctuaries as well as unique heritage sites and landmarks, where flora and fauna find habitat in delicate balance with human activities.
