Rain Forest Sustainability, Preservation, and Conservation Programs of Rainforest Adventures Dominica

Rainforest Adventures Dominica supports the rain forest sustainability, and exerts a lot of conservation effort to help with saving the tropical rain forests in Dominica. Below are the programs and environment-friendly measures that the park executes for the preservation of the natural resources:

  • Towers were brought in by helicopters in order to avoid damaging the forest floor
  • Towers were designed and built with an F shape not a T shape that helped save the amount of trees that needed to be cut
  • Garbage control was put in place from day one of planning and construction
  • Sites are smoke free
  • Trams protect the forest from becoming agricultural or commercial / private real estate
  • Offer employment opportunities for community members
  • Educate thousands of school kids that come and visit every year
  • Water saving toilets and faucets
  • Recycle plastic bottles and donate proceeds to International School to encourage recycling
  • Utilize rainwater for toilets and plants
  • Forest-wide composting
  • Minimize use of plastics, straws, and napkins- reusable resources utilized instead
  • Computers used for organization “paperwork” in order to save paper
  • No use of harsh cleaners, bleach, insecticides or other sprays
  • No air conditioners within the parks
  • Reduced use of electricity
  • Sustainable eco tourism
  • Bird and offspring protection from predators by placing aluminum at bottom of trees so predators cannot climb up
