Understanding the environmental legislations in the Bahamas is crucial for citizens advocating for economic, environmental, and social justice. Here are a few reasons why:
ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONS DATABASE REPOSITORY
Spanning many decades, from the time of its colonial history to the
present day, the Bahamas has established a body of environmental
laws and regulations aimed at protecting its unique and fragile
ecosystems.
As our world faces increasingly pressing environmental challenges,
as we seek to address transparency and accountability of our
country's natural resources, it is critical that citizens have easy
access to legislations and the knowledge it contains. Our goal is to
create a centralized resource that will help citizens, and other
stakeholders stay informed about environmental regulations and
promote conservation efforts throughout the Bahamas.
We believe that by developing this repository, we can enhance
transparency and accountability of our leaders and foster greater
collaboration among non-governmental organizations working
towards environmental protection in the Bahamas.
We look forward to sharing as we create a valuable and accessible
resource for the benefit of our natural environment and the
communities that rely upon it.
