Hurricane Melissa’s deadly force was the result of global warming — fuelled by fossil fuels, corporate greed, decades of political inaction, and chronic underinvestment in resilience.

Meet the women who turned beach cleanups into a global movement – and what was forgotten along the way In the 1980s, beach cleanups were envisaged as citizen science, aimed squarely at industrial pollution.

A little bit of history. Interesting...

This is a @ramsarconv.bsky.social Site - a Wetland of International Importance. Now being cleared for a parking lot. It adjoins a colonial era fort, which appears to have also been damaged in the process.

Let's keep up the momentum for 2025 and protect our oceans for future generations!🌊 #ICC2024 #KeepWiIslandClean

In Jamaica, I believe @jamentrust1991.bsky.social is definitely “upping the ante” and I am with them all the way!

In Jamaica's Rio Cobre oil spill case, activists and civil society say there are outstanding issues 'The public deserves full transparency and accountability [and the] assurance that environmental laws will be enforced openly, vigorously and with due regard for environmental standards, principles an...

Environmental justice and protection are non-negotiable. NEPA’s mediation in the Rio Cobre spill case weakens accountability and Jamaica’s environmental safeguards.
Act now: Demand transparency and stronger enforcement. Raise your voice—write to representatives, and spread awareness!

Jamaica deserves better!
Act now: Email dpp@moj.gov.jm to call for an investigation into NEPA’s actions and stronger environmental enforcement.
