Framework set for the production of important State of Protected Areas (SoPA) in the Caribbean
The SoPA report for the Caribbean region will be a comprehensive regional assessment of PAs and PA systems. It will provide the facts and figures required by governments and others to make informed decisions, and function as a baseline for tracking progress in meeting national and international targets, while highlighting strategies toward a sustainable future.
The report is expected to be issued in late 2019 and the BIOPAMA team in the Caribbean hosted an inception workshop on September 5 and 6, 2018, in Bridgetown, Barbados, which brought together a core group of participants representing seven countries and eight organisations to outline the actions necessary to develop, produce and disseminate the SoPA report
