Develop two participatory management plans for the Hellshire Hills and Portland Ridge key biodiversity areas in Jamaica. The grant supports collection of baseline data, identification of high priority conservation actions and establishment of a monitoring programme for endangered and endemic species; consultation with and validation by key stakeholders involved in management planning; and strengthening of C-CAM’s institutional and technical capacity to become a more effective leader in conservation. Furthermore, approaches to fostering climate change adaption will be assessed and recommended.

Strategic Direction: 1 Improve protection and management of 45 priority key biodiversity areas
