PURPOSE

The CCMI Green Guide to the Cayman Islands aims to:

  • illustrate how our everyday life is inextricably linked to the natural environment that surrounds us in Cayman.
  • inspire each individual to make changes that will have a positive impact on the environment and on our own quality of life.
  • expose some of the shocking threats to our most critical habitats and species.
  • communicate to businesses, residents and visitors the value of preserving the biodiversity of our islands in a friendly and informative way.
  • offer some concrete examples of the best green practices that will help preserve the environment.
   
Coral reefs are now considered more vulnerable and more threatened than tropical rainforests.
