Thanks to generous funding from The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs (now the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature & Food Quality) through the Nature Fund, 23 projects intended for overdue maintenance of nature were approved and are in various stages of implementation on Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius. These projects are targeting coral reef restoration, sustainable use of nature and the synergy of sustainable use of nature in combination with agriculture and tourism.
In this Special Edition “BioNews” is proud to present updates from 2017 and 2018 on the Nature Funding projects and achievements.
