WILLEMSTAD - Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance (DCNA) increases the resilience of nature conservation organizations so that they can withstand external shocks. This was announced during the board meeting.
According to the organization, support for parks remains essential due to Covid-19. In addition, DCNA must focus on the impact of climate change. “This poses a threat to the lives and livelihoods of communities in the Dutch Caribbean,” DCNA said.
Director of DCNA, Tadzio Bervoets, indicates that in addition to increasing the nature conservation organizations, it is important to advise local authorities more effectively, as they are an important stakeholder. The organization will move from a monistic to a dualistic governance model to better serve conservation organizations.
The board has agreed on a strategic plan for the period 2021-2030, which takes into account the challenges of the conservation organizations and the specific needs of each island.
