Jamaica Launches $4M Plant Rescue | Jamaica News

Jamaica’s rare plant species are getting a lifeline thanks to “Restore for Sure,” a bold $4 million+ initiative backed by the Global Environment Facility and the Jamaican government. Targeting 53 globally threatened plants across 740+ hectares in key ecosystems like Quaco Rock and the Blue and John Crow Mountains, the project aims to rebuild habitats and strengthen conservation. Kickstarted by a Kingston workshop uniting NEPA, UNEP, IUCN, and local leaders, it’s framed as a national emergency—not just an environmental goal—amid hurricane recovery and climate threats. With community involvement and science-driven planning underway, this collaboration seeks to restore ecological resilience while honoring Jamaica’s unique biodiversity.
