Synopsis

Environmental Management in the Caribbean reflects differences of perspective and conflicts of interest revealed through the research and professional experience of the contributors to this book. Their contributions cover the themes of national parks and protected areas, freshwater management, pollution and waste management, disaster risk reduction, environmental education and behaviour.

Wide ranging in its regional scope (with cases from Barbados, Curaçao, the Eastern Caribbean, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago), this collection challenges national inadequacies in formal policy and support of environmental management, resulting in ad hoc practices by NGOs and individuals. Environmental Management in the Caribbean provides an excellent resource for teachers, students and researchers, as well as policy makers and practitioners engaged in environmental management.
