Overview of Conservation in the Caribbean Region
Putney AD. 1980. Overview of Conservation in the Caribbean Region. Pages 460-467. In Transactions of the 45th North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference. Washington D.C.
In this paper, the Caribbean region is somewhat arbitrarily defined as all nations bordering the Caribbean Sea, except Mexico, which is considered essentially a Gulf nation. With a population of approximately 135 million, some 29 political entities, and 4 major languages, it is one of the most diverse regions of the world. An understanding of this diversity is central to understanding the status of conservation and the measures which are required to improve the management of living natural resources.
