From 2010 to 2016, through a 10-year subsidy agreement, the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations contributed €750,000 annually to the Conservation Trust Fund.
The intention of this trust fund was to provide funding which would cover management costs for one land and one marine park on each island.
The conservation work completed within the Dutch Caribbean would not be possible without support of the Dutch Ministry of the Interior.
