Environmental Agenda for the 1990's: A Synthesis of the Eastern Caribbean Country Environmental Profile Series.

摘要

The document summarizes the key issues and problems identified in recent A.I.D.-funded environmental profiles of six Eastern Caribbean countries--Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. An introductory chapter provides background information on the historical, economic, and social context of the Eastern Caribbean, succeeded by chapters devoted to forests and forestry, wildlife and biodiversity, freshwater resources and watershed management, coastal and marine environments, agriculture, tourism and industry, pollution, parks and protected areas, and institutional capabilities, each chapter concluding with a list of the principal issues facing the sector in question. A final section highlights recommendations common to the country profiles.
