Welcome to Parks Caribbean

Parks Caribbean introduces you to some of the Caribbean’s special places, Protected Areas. These special places are often fragile, usually beautiful, always contributing to the development of Caribbean peoples. Protected areas are treasure troves of history and culture, weaving stories of struggle, liberation, love, and hope. The stories and visit to the sites helps us to understand the past, enjoy the present, and plan for the future. They protect water sources, provide food, provide medicines, and opportunities for learning and recreation. Some are so special that they are designated as World Heritage.

Parks Caribbean introduces you to programmes, places, and people, but the way to truly experience protected and other conservation areas in the Caribbean is to immerse yourself in these special places.
