Protected Areas & Eco-Tourism: Dominica’s Ministry of Environment has started demarcating Morne Diablotin National Park boundaries and setting up a buffer zone to strengthen long-term protection while supporting sustainable community use, under the GEF/World Bank LETBP project. Climate Resilience: The DNCTF says Atkinson will receive US$5,000 from the Bahamas Protected Areas Fund for drainage clearing, French drains, soil stabilization, and maintenance equipment to cut flood and landslide risks.

Urban Infrastructure: The Roseau Enhancement Project moves into its implementation phase after a June 17 kickoff, with road upgrades and drainage improvements aimed at a safer, more pedestrian-friendly, climate-resilient Roseau. Tourism & Nature: Discover Dominica Authority launched “Summer the Nature Island Way,” offering eight curated itineraries that push visitors beyond beaches into communities through adventure, wellness, culture, and nature experiences.
