Description
The Caribbean Forest Conservation Association (CFCA) is a membership, environmental non-governmental
organisation. It is a non-profit organisation and operates under a constitution and set of
rules.
The Caribbean Forest Conservation Association (CFCA) came into being out of concern for issues of deforestation
as a result of the devastating forest fires in Trinidad in 1987. CFCA was created
by a citizen-based action-oriented group to advocate and lobby for conservation of forest ecosystems,
biodiversity and the sustainable use of forest resources by all stakeholders. The Association
believes that only an informed and alerted public can make the decisions necessary to protect and manage
our forests and natural resources in a wise and sustainable manner. We aim to promote and
advance field research and implement practical projects which will contribute to the conservation and
wise, sustainable use of our forests and natural resources by all stakeholders.
