Why what we do is so important
Jamaica's original inhabitants, the Taino Indians called the island "Xayamaca," which means "Land of Wood and Water." However,
Jamaica is currently affected by many environmental problems. We have high rates of deforestation, a growing solid waste problem,
our coastal waters are over-fished and polluted in some areas, our coral reefs are threatened, air quality in towns and cities is
deteriorating and is rarely tested, and rivers are affected by agricultural run-off and sand mining. Yet environmental awareness
is low in Jamaica. We work with children and young people to develop understanding of how poor environmental stewardship affects
quality of life for both present and future generations.
