In Jamaica, nature radiates through verdant mountainsides, crystalline rivers and white beaches edging a turquoise sea.

For the people of this picturesque island, the land and sea support lives and livelihoods—from farmers in the Blue Mountains to fishers in the Pedro Cays. The Nature Conservancy supports marine management, promotes sustainable fishing and protects freshwater sources for communities. We strive to ensure that Jamaica’s diverse natural treasures will continue to sustain and bring joy to the next generations.
