  Barbados Celebrates the International Day of Biological Diversity

In an effort to highlight the theme and its significance for Barbados, activities were chosen to highlight diversity within island’s primary agriculture export, sugar cane, and efforts to improve its contribution to Barbados’ sustainable development. In addition to this, other agricultural crops that contribute towards Barbados goals of sustainable development were highlighted, along with methods of increasing their productivity.

The Biodiversity Conservation and Management Section continued its work with the section’s adopted schools, Wesley Hall Infants School, Ellerton Primary School, St. Bartholomew Primary School and St. Christopher Primary School.
