OUR WORK

The Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) implements projects under three main focus areas: environmental education, law and advocacy and conservation. Our main projects include Jamaica’s longest running environmental education programme for students and teachers, the Schools’ Environment Programme, which has been in continuous operation since 1997. Our law and advocacy programme works to protect Jamaica’s natural resources using the law, public participation processes, policy review and the media. We stage and coordinate environmental events in Jamaica, including the annual International Coastal Cleanup Day. Our conservation work has included monitoring of sea turtle nesting and the patrol and management of the Pedro Bank fish sanctuary.
