The Protected Landscape Approach: Linking Nature, Culture and Community The Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area (PLA) is one of 24 PLAs in the Czech Republic, and protects mixed beech forest and peat bogs in the upland areas. Local NGOs and civic associations are playing an important role in encouraging sustainable development in this protected landscape. Siegfried Weiss Pavel Kuca Meadows in the White Carpathian mountains (Czech and Slovak Republics) support rich biodiversity, particularly orchids such as Orchis mascula (see right). To maintain meadow ecosystems in the Protected Landscape Area, NGOs are working with local farmers to continue traditional haymaking practices and reintroduce sheep grazing. Brent Mitchell Plate 12
13. Protected landscapes and seascapes and their relevance to Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean: the case of Saint Lucia Giles Romulus Introduction For many years since their emergence from colonialism into independence, the small islands of the Caribbean have been searching for a development paradigm that responds to their strengths and vulnerabilities. Located in the Western Atlantic within the penumbra or immediate geopolitical and cultural sphere of influence of a “Hyper Power” (Tisdell, 1994), these islands were at one time the centres of the international economic system, providing raw materials to the factories of Europe at minimal rates and being sold manufactured products at high rates. Today, these islands exhibit all the characteristics of Small Islands Developing States (SIDS), in cluding small economic space, monocultural economies, large and growing populations, high poverty and indigence rates, growing international debts, high debt service ratios, high illiteracy rates, and, by virtue of their location, vulnerability to natural disasters. These islands are not only vulnerable to natural disasters but also to slight variations in the global economic system because of the openness of their economies. The reality of existence in the Caribbean is usually distorted by the television and movies, which portray the area as a tropical paradise for exotic vacations. Tourism and its related services are, in the minds of many, the only comparative advantage the islands possess in an era of globalization and trade liberalization. It is within this context that Caribbean people are rediscovering their natural and cultural heritage as a means for sustainable development. The St. George’s Declaration of Principles for Environmental Sustainability in the OECS 1 captures in its preamble the new consensus for development in the Caribbean. The Declaration states that: … the effective management of environmental resources at local, national and inter - national levels is an essential component of sustainable social and economic de - velopment, including the creation of jobs, a stable society, a buoyant economy and the sustaining of viable natural systems on which all life depends. (OECS, 2000) This integrated approach to sustainable development as summarised in the St. George’s Declaration also means effective management of natural and cultural resources based on the principles of equity (access to natural and cultural resources and land); participation (in decision-making and in management of resources); and sustainability (optimal use of natural 1 The OECS are a group of islands in the Caribbean which include Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands. These islands share a common currency and are slowly moving towards a single economic space and political union. The St. George’s Declaration was ratified by all the governments of the OECS. 179
