Biodiversity & Biosecurity: Dominica’s Ministry of Agriculture says it’s stepping up the fight against Lethal Yellowing Disease in the coconut sub-sector in Woodfordhill, after receiving a grant from the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund and the Dominica National Conservation Trust Fund to help contain the threat. Protected Areas: The Ministry of Environment has started work to strengthen Morne Diablotin National Park, beginning with park boundary demarcation and the creation of a buffer zone under the GEF/World Bank LETBP project—aimed at protecting natural resources while supporting sustainable community use. Climate Resilience: Prime Minister Skerrit announced the Dominica Community Resilience Enhancement Project (DOMCREP), a $70.2 million investment to support climate-smart agriculture, water security, and emergency preparedness across eight vulnerable communities. Hurricane Readiness: As the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season begins, Skerrit urged households and businesses to prepare early, noting NEPO has inspected shelters and reviewed emergency supplies. Regional Conservation Funding: DNCTF awarded over US$103,000 for biodiversity and ecosystem protection, including a rapid response project targeting Lethal Yellowing Disease and a coral reef restoration effort in Soufriere.
