This October is celebrating the inaugural the Day of the Protected Areas of Latin America and the Caribbean, as we recognise the importance of protected areas for the well-being of people and sustainable development in the region.

The Third Latin America and the Caribbean Protected Area Congress (CAPLAC III) was held between 14 and 17 October 2019 in Lima, Peru. Following up from the Lima Declaration, the week of 12-18 October 2020 was dedicated to celebrating protected areas and the role they play across the region.

On this occasion, the BIOPAMA Caribbean has released this video message:

One year ago, BIOPAMA participated in the Third Latin America and the Caribbean Protected Area Congress and brought the Caribbean perspectives in the discussions and decisions of the event. Learn more about our participation at CAPLAC III here.
