Development Depleting Jamaica's Swamp Forests

The construction of hotels and other infrastructure has left Jamaica more exposed to flooding with the Forestry Department reporting a 95.5 per cent decline in swamp forests over the last 15 years. Swamp forests are inundated with freshwater and are usually located along the lower reaches of rivers and around freshwater lakes. The country's Forestry Department says data from its latest Land Use Assessment Survey show that over the past 15 years, Jamaica has lost 2,124.1 ha of swamp forest, leaving this forest type at only 122.9 ha. This accounts for less than 0.1 per cent of the 40 per cent of Jamaica's total forest cover. The survey found that the decline is as a result of the construction of hotels and other infrastructure.
