Snake Awareness and Conservation Program Launched in Antigua and Barbuda
In response to growing concerns and misconceptions surrounding snakes in Antigua and Barbuda, the Department of Environment is proud to announce the launch of a Snake Awareness and Conservation Program. This initiative aims to promote a greater understanding of snakes, dispel myths, and foster coexistence between humans and these important reptiles. Snakes play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by controlling rodent populations and serving as indicators of environmental health. However, negative perceptions and fear of snakes have led to persecution and habitat destruction, threatening their survival in the wild. The Snake Awareness and Conservation Program will encompass a range of educational activities, outreach events, and conservation initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of snakes and their ecological significance. Through interactive workshops, school presentations, and community engagement activities, the program will provide valuable information about snake biology, behavior, and conservation. Key components of the program include: The Snake Awareness and Conservation Program will rely on collaboration with local communities, schools, conservation organizations, and government agencies to achieve its goals. By fostering a greater appreciation for snakes and promoting responsible stewardship of their habitats, we can ensure the conservation of these fascinating and misunderstood creatures for future generations. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events and opportunities to participate in the Snake Awareness and Conservation Program. Together, we can make a positive impact on snake conservation efforts in Antigua and Barbuda!
Sustainable Waste Management Initiative Launch in St. John’s
Sustainable Waste Management Initiative Launch in St. John’s The Department of Environment in Antigua and Barbuda is proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking sustainable waste management initiative in the capital city of St. John’s. Under the banner of “Cleaner, Greener St. John’s”, this initiative seeks to revolutionize waste management practices, reduce environmental pollution, and promote community engagement. With rapid urbanization and population growth, the management of solid waste has emerged as a pressing challenge for municipalities across the Caribbean.

Stay tuned for updates on the progress of this exciting initiative and opportunities to get involved in building a more sustainable St. John’s!
New Breakwater Construction Project in the South EIA
The Department of Environment in Antigua and Barbuda announces the initiation of a significant environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the proposed breakwater construction project in the southern region. This ambitious endeavor aims to enhance coastal protection and bolster the resilience of our shores against the impacts of climate change. The proposed project, spearheaded by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, is set to address longstanding concerns regarding coastal erosion and wave action in the southern areas of Antigua and Barbuda. With the increasing frequency and intensity of storms and rising sea levels, the need for proactive measures to safeguard our coastline has become paramount. The breakwater construction project entails the erection of robust structures strategically positioned along the coastline to attenuate wave energy and mitigate erosion. These structures will not only provide protection to coastal communities and infrastructure but also contribute to the preservation of critical ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves. In accordance with established environmental protocols, the Department of Environment has initiated a comprehensive EIA to assess the potential impacts of the project on the surrounding environment. This assessment will encompass thorough evaluations of marine habitats, water quality, coastal dynamics, and socio-economic factors. Stakeholder engagement and public consultation will be integral components of the EIA process, ensuring that the concerns and perspectives of local communities, environmental organizations, and other stakeholders are duly considered. The Department of Environment encourages active participation from all interested parties to foster transparency and inclusivity throughout the assessment phase. The EIA will adhere to rigorous standards and guidelines, guided by principles of sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Mitigation measures will be identified and incorporated into the project design to minimize adverse impacts and maximize the benefits for both people and nature. As we embark on this transformative journey towards coastal resilience, the Department of Environment reaffirms its commitment to responsible environmental management and sustainable development in Antigua and Barbuda. Through collaborative efforts and informed decision-making, we can safeguard our natural heritage for future generations while fostering resilient and vibrant coastal communities. Stay tuned for further updates and opportunities for engagement as we progress through the EIA process and embark on this vital initiative for the protection and preservation of Antigua and Barbuda’s coastal ecosystems.
