Barbados is looking to be at the forefront of the movement to encourage a more sustainable environment.
In April 2019 the country enforced a ban on single-use plastics, meaning that there will be no more importation, retail, sale and use of petrol-based, single-use plastic on the island.
Barbados is already one of the world's top users of electric vehicles with over 350 solar powered cars reducing the islands' emissions.
Welchman Gully
Welchman Gully contributes to the islands' cultural and natural history by providing ecological research space for conservationists.
The gully itself is home to many monkeys, birds, butterflies and majestic rainforest trees as well as delicate native plants.
PEG Farm
The farm encourages visitors to embrace their surroundings and the concept of sustainable living.
The biodynamic farm brings new agricultural and holistic lifestyle practices to the island through permaculture and free range animal husbandry.
It also has medicinal gardens onsite that nurture a large variety of plants sourced from across the island.
The Barbados Sea Turtle Project
The Barbados Sea Turtle project has been involved in the conservation of the endangered marine turtle species for more than 25 years.
Its long term vision is to restore the local marine turtle population through research, education and public outreach.
Barbados is currently home to the second-largest hawksbill turtle nesting population in the Caribbean, with up to 500 nesting females per year.
Carlisle Bay
Carlisle Bay, in the south west of Barbados, has recently become a designated marine-protected area.
