Clearing Down: Does It Hurt the Environment?
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – From Cowpen Road in the south to the over-the-hill communities, to Prince Charles Drive in the east. Areas that was once home to trees and other natural vegetation have been cleared down.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – From Cowpen Road in the south to the over-the-hill communities, to Prince Charles Drive in the east. Areas that was once home to trees and other natural vegetation have been cleared down.
But what does this mean for the environment?
Former Bahamas National Trust executive director and One Consultants President and CEO Eric Carey explains how losing vegetation hurts the environment.
In areas like over the hill, government launched its clear hold and build project last year.
The clear stage means overgrown lots will be cleared down.
At the time, law enforcement officers explained that these areas are sometimes used to carry out criminal acts like stashing illegal firearms or even drugs.
Housing and Urban Renewal Minister Keith Bell explains the next steps for the areas.
But Carey seems to believe there are other ways to address the issue, without clearing down bushes.
