Abstract: | Summary The Dominican Republic and other Caribbean countries face serious challenges to their natural resource base. In recent years
the government of the Dominican Republic has taken major steps toward the development and implementation of a comprehensive
plan for national natural resources management. This plan is called Plan Sierra. An important component of this plan is the
outline of actions for carrying out an environmental education programme within the country. This demonstrates a commitment
to fulfill Recommendation No. 96 of the Stockholm Conference in a way that could become a model for other Latin American nations.
