The Department of Environment is responsible for managing the country's natural resources, enforcing environmental laws, and protecting biodiversity.
We implement and monitor programs to safeguard endangered species, preserve natural habitats, and enforce wildlife protection laws (within the National Conservation and Environment Protection Act)
Key challenges include coastal erosion, pollution (land and marine), climate change impacts, deforestation, and water resource management.
Simple steps include choosing low carbon travel options, recycling, reducing energy consumption at home, and supporting local sustainable products.
You can volunteer for local clean-up projects, join environmental organizations, or participate in educational campaigns to raise awareness about sustainability.
Our country has implemented a ban on certain single-use plastics, including straws, bags, and bottles. Visit the waste management section for more details on prohibited items and disposal options.
Our country is home to several endangered species, including the Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). Conservation programs are in place to protect them.
Support local wildlife conservation efforts, avoid disrupting natural habitats, and report illegal hunting or poaching activities to authorities.
Protected areas and national parks are essential for preserving biodiversity, providing habitats for wildlife, and offering spaces for sustainable tourism and recreation.
