  • The Value of Nature in the Caribbean Netherlands
    The Economics of Ecosystems The value of nature and Biodiversity in the Caribbean Netherlands in the Caribbean Netherlands 2 Total Economic Value in the Caribbean Netherlands The value of nature in the Caribbean Netherlands The Challenge Healthy ecosystems such as the forests on the hillsides of the Quill on St Eustatius and Saba’s Mt Scenery or the corals reefs of Bonaire are critical to the society of the Caribbean Netherlands. In the last decades, various local and global developments have resulted in serious threats to these fragile ecosystems, thereby jeopardizing the foundations of the islands’ economies. To make well-founded decisions that protect the natural environment on these beautiful tropical islands against the looming threats, it is crucial to understand how nature contributes to the economy and wellbeing in the Caribbean Netherlands. This study aims to determine the economic value and the societal importance of the main ecosystem services provided by the natural capital of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba. The challenge of this project is to deliver insights that support decision-makers in the long-term management of the islands’ economies and natural environment. Overview Caribbean Netherlands The Caribbean Netherlands consist of three islands, Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba all located in the Caribbean Sea. Since 2010 each island is part of the Netherlands as a public entity. Bonaire is the largest island with 16,000 permanent residents, while only 4,000 people live in St Eustatius and approximately 2,000 in Saba. The total population of the Caribbean Netherlands is 22,000. All three islands are surrounded by living coral reefs and therefore attract many divers and snorkelers.

  • Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba and the European Netherlands Conclusions
    JOINED TOGETHER FOR FIVE YEARS BONAIRE, SINT EUSTATIUS, SABA AND THE EUROPEAN NETHERLANDS CONCLUSIONS Preface On 10 October 2010, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba each became a public entitie within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In the run-up to this transition, it was agreed to evaluate the results of the new political structure after five years. Expectations were high at the start of the political change. Various objectives have been achieved in these past five years. The levels of health care and education have improved significantly. But there is a lot that is still disappointing. Not all expectations people had on 10 October 2010 have been met. The 'Committee for the evaluation of the constitutional structure of the Caribbean Netherlands' is aware that people have different expectations of the evaluation. There is some level of scepticism. Some people assume that the results of the evaluation will lead to yet another report, which will not have a considerable contribution to the, in their eyes, necessary change. Other people's expectations of the evaluation are high and they expect the results of the evaluation to lead to a new moment or a relaunch for further agreements that will mark the beginning of necessary changes. In any case, five years is too short a period to be able to give a final assessment of the new political structure. However, five years is an opportune period of time to be able to take stock of the situation and identify successes and elements that need improving. Add to this the fact that the results of the evaluation have been repeatedly identified as the cause for making new agreements.

  • Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: a Global Comparison
    rik Van WELie Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: A Global Comparison INTRODUCTION From the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century, slavery played a fundamental role in the Dutch colonial empire.1 All overseas possessions of the Dutch depended in varying degrees on the labor of slaves who were imported from diverse and often remote areas. Over the past decades numer- ous academic publications have shed light on the history of the Dutch Atlantic slave trade and of slavery in the Dutch Americas.2 These scholarly contribu- tions, in combination with the social and political activism of the descen- dants of Caribbean slaves, have helped to bring the subject of slavery into the national public debate. The ongoing discussions about an official apology for the Dutch role in slavery, the erection of monuments to commemorate that history, and the inclusion of some of these topics in the first national history canon are all testimony to this increased attention for a troubled past.3 To some this recent focus on the negative aspects of Dutch colonial history has already gone too far, as they summon the country’s glorious past to instill a 1.

  • Prehistoric Cultural Developments on Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
    PREHISTORIC CULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS ON BONAIRE, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES Jay B. Haviser INTRODUCTION The objective of this paper is to present a general overview of Amerindian cultural developments on Bonaire, based on extensive archaeological surveys and excavations conducted by the author in 1987-1988. In this paper, the method for presenting such an overview is by examining two types of data relating to the prehistoric period. First, there will be an identification and comparison of island-wide and internal-site evidence of artifact deposits, with a focus on the composition and distribution of variable classes of artifacts. Secondly, a site catchment analysis is used to observe data about Amerindian cultural geography and settlement patterns on Bonaire. These data are then compared with similar analyses conducted on Curaçao, to make interpretations about the variable adaptive strategies employeed by the Amerindians on Bonaire. A more detailed examination of Amerindian cultural history on Bonaire can be found in a book called "The First Bonaireans" by the author, to be out next year (Haviser 1991 ). Physical Background of Bonaire Bonaire, and its sister island of Klein Bonaire, have 288 sq. Km. of exposed land, and are located about 80 Km. north of Venezuela and 45 Km. east of Curaçao, at 12 5' N. latitude and 68 25' W. longitude (see Figure 1). The island itself is about 40 Km. long and 5-11 Km. wide in a roughly boomerang shape, composed of mostly Eocene to Quaternary limestone formations and also Cretaceous to Tertiary Washikemba formations ofbasalts, cherts and diabases (Beets and MacGillavry 1977; de Buisonje 1974) (see Figure 2).
