The Implementing Land, Water and Ecosystem Management (IWECo) in The Bahamas project is a part of an overall network for small island developing states in the Caribbean region. The aim is to use innovative solutions for land and watershed restoration and management to increase ecosystem resilience. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is funding the project and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the lead implementing body. The Department of Environmental Planning and Protection (DEPP) in the Ministry of the Environment Natural Resources serves as the Executing Agency. A wide cross-section of public and private stakeholders, experts and environmental managers are working collaboratively to achieve project outcomes over a three-year period, February 2020 to January 2023.
Originally published by the project on 5th November 2021, the latest edition of the Island Eco Diary newsletter showcases how the IWEco The Bahamas project has been engaging citizens, assessing the extent of nature's loss and monitoring encouraging signs of renewal in East Grand Bahama in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. The people of East Grand Bahama, its pinelands, wetlands, plants and animals life are at the centre of a groundbreaking restoration effort.
