On February 16th 2017, stakeholders involved on
five Subcommittees of the “Improving
Forest and Protected Area Management in Trinidad and Tobago” project
assembled at the PETROTRIN Staff Club in Pointe a Pierre to participate in a
Lessons Learned Workshop, a few months shy of the project’s mid-term. This all-day exercise served to facilitate
the exchange of experiences and viewpoints among stakeholders in the process of
project implementation and progress made towards the development of
recommendations for the management of six pilot protected areas of focus in
this project.
Over forty persons attended the Workshop and contributed to
discussions that reviewed: the composition of the Subcommittees; the governance
of Subcommittees; how priority and emerging issues were managed;
decision-making on boundaries and levels of protection; and drafting of
conservation objectives for protected areas.
In a post-workshop evaluation exercise, Subcommittee members
shared that the exercise was useful in understanding that there were some
common challenges facing each team and the potential existed for “cross
pollination” among teams to assist in the way forward in the project.
The complete report from the Lessons Learned Workshop is provided at this link.
