Introduction

This document comprises two parts:

Executive Summary
Project Profiles

The Executive Summary is based on that which is included in the main report of the National Forestry Action Plan (NFAP) for St Lucia. The main report was produced as a result of the visit of the FAO/TFAP Country Mission Team (CMT - Appendix I).

There are twenty three proposed projects under all five FAO TFAP priority areas. For four of these areas, charts are included which clearly summarise the associated problems and objectives.

In addition to these twenty three project profiles, three core projects have been formulated. These cover the areas of: management of critical watersheds, agroforestry development and natural resources conservation and development, and are available as a separate document. The five proposed regional projects which were formulated after this document had been prepared, are also of relevance and interest to St. Lucia.
