There's a lot of concern being voiced about the state of the environment across the planet however not much positive action is coming from the average citizen

It's a shame really, since the natural assets we take for granted are indeed wonders of the world, a boon bestowed on us by mother nature and one which is all too fragile at that.

Environment Tobago sees education in conservation and sustainability as its biggest role. This eco-NGO wants to change present attitudes of the way things are approached ... and its using this web as one tool in a multi-faceted approach. The motto we carry says it all - Environment TOBAGO conserves Tobago's natural and living resources and advances the knowledge and understanding of such resources, their wise and sustainable use, and their essential relationship to human health and the quality of life. |
