The Antigua and Barbuda Environment Fund (ABEF) has awarded USD 45,000 to support locally led conservation projects in Antigua and Barbuda. This funding aims to empower community groups and organizations to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices. The projects focus on preserving natural resources, biodiversity, and promoting environmental awareness within local communities.

ABEF’s support enables these groups to implement initiatives such as habitat restoration, waste management, and education programs. By providing financial resources and technical assistance, the fund encourages grassroots efforts that have a direct positive impact on the environment. These projects also help build local capacity to address ongoing environmental challenges.

This funding reflects the government and ABEF’s commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Protecting Antigua and Barbuda’s natural beauty is crucial for the well-being of residents and the tourism industry.
