Welcometo Parks Caribbean!
Parks Caribbean introduces you to some of the Caribbean’s special places,
Protected Areas. These special places are often fragile, usually beautiful, always
contributing to the development of Caribbean peoples. Protected areas are
treasure troves of history and culture, weaving stories of struggle, liberation, love,
and hope. The stories and visit to the sites helps us to understand the past,
enjoy the present, and plan for the future. They protect water sources, provide
food, provide medicines, and opportunities for learning and recreation. Some are
so special that they are considered to be World Heritage.
Not only will you enjoy these special places, many of you will fall in love (with
places and people) or get married in one.
Parks Caribbean introduces you to programmes, places, and people, but the way
to truly experience protected areas in the Caribbean is to immerse yourself in
these special places.
