Jamaica Forests

About this project

The project aims to rehabilitate Jamaica's critical forest ecosystems and rural resource–based livelihoods following the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa. The project’s purpose is to strengthen the resilience of Jamaica’s forest ecosystems, institutions, and forest-dependent communities, particularly women, youth, and marginalized groups, through targeted ecological restoration, institutional capacity strengthening, and rural livelihood recovery support. Project activities include rapid damage assessments, rehabilitation of forest nurseries to drive seedling production, restoration of degraded forest areas using climate-resilient approaches, strengthening climate and gender-responsive monitoring systems, and provision of recovery grants to re-establish community livelihoods.
