Description:
The Caribbean Conservation Association (CCA) "exists to enhance the quality of life for present
and future generations of the Caribbean by facilitating the development and implementation of policies,
programmes and practices, which contribute to the sustainable management of the region's natural and
cultural resources
Caribbean conservation has become very important on a global level. The Caribbean is an international
hotspot for conservation due to the impending forces that threaten its stability and the
biodiversity living within the sensitive ecosystems of the region.
The Caribbean is home to an enormous variety of sea and plant life. It is a great source of revenue
for the fishing and tourism industries and it plays a huge role in maintaining balance in the natural
world. Human activity has had a negative impact on the region and humans need to be more aware about
Caribbean conservation on a global level. If we continue to approach the fragile island and
sea ecosystems with disregard for its importance to the natural world a habitat that has been thriving
for several billion years will be lost.
Caribbean conservation is a movement powered by many organizations, who focus on the natural resources
that exist within the ring of islands that make up the Caribbean community. It strives to
protect the coral reefs, the wildlife, the islands themselves and works to change the dependency on
fossil fuels so that the communities can begin to use more renewable energy.
The Caribbean can be saved with the help of the global community, the willingness to understand the
importance of Caribbean conservation, and the drive to make changes that affects the world in a
positive way.
