Natural heritage is inextricably linked to, and informs<br />
our cultural heritage. If we do not safeguard one we will<br />
lose meaning (and thus reason to conserve) <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
As such, <strong>the</strong> impacts <strong>of</strong> climate change threaten our very<br />
identities. All <strong>the</strong> more reason why <strong>the</strong> call to action is for<br />
one and all!<br />
The DECR includes <strong>the</strong> Protected Areas Division which<br />
manages and regulates Protected Areas, pertinent to conserving<br />
our natural heritage. The Turks & Caicos National<br />
Trust in a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that is<br />
responsible for <strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> environmental and<br />
historical significance <strong>of</strong> some Protected Areas and has<br />
<strong>the</strong> ability to hold land inalienably for future generations.<br />
The DECR works alongside o<strong>the</strong>r departments, government<br />
agencies, and NGOs to ensure that our Protected<br />
Areas are safeguarded from uncontrolled development<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r threats.<br />
The Turks & Caicos Climate Change Summit recording,<br />
which showcases presentations from leaders in<br />
marine and terrestrial conservation, as well as energy and<br />
tourism, is available on <strong>the</strong> TCI Climate Change Summit<br />
Facebook page (@TCIClimateChangeSummit) as well as<br />
on YouTube. a<br />
The event’s keynote speaker, Hon. Walter Roban, Bermuda’s Deputy<br />
Premier, was so impressed by <strong>the</strong> TCI Climate Change Charter that<br />
he requested a copy to inform Bermuda’s own Climate Change policy.<br />
