Excellent article Ms. Wallace. Thank you!
I do know that the British High Commissioner to the Bahamas will be attending COP26 but I don’t know which government officials will be. Hopefully one of them will be Dr. Rochelle Newbold will be attending who has a comprehensive understanding of the crisis facing us as a small island nation.
I hope you will write an article on the rampant mass destruction of our native forests and wetland areas (Carmichael Road and Adelaide especially )being clear cut, bulldozed to the bare rock and/or filled in for housing projects. There must be a balance for providing housing without destroying our environmentally important natural areas. I also think we need to consider urban renewal prospects & projects as high priorities; fixing up older areas to make them habitable again rather than sprawling all over the island destroying what we have left of our bio diversity. I look forward to such an article.
