  • The Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica Bauxite /Alumina Symposium 1971
    I THE JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF JAMAICA BAUXITE /ALUMINA SYMPOSIUM 1971 LIBRARY 01' ISSUE '/// <°* PREFACE The recent Bauxite/Alumina Industry Symposium, which was sponsored by the Geo­ logical Society of Jamaica, was an attempt to bring together scientists and engineers to discuss the many problems relating to the industry. Ihe use of a multi-dicipli- nary approach has the advantage of permitting different lines of attack on the same problems, and thereby increasing the likelihood of finding solutions to them. Also, the interaction of people from the University, industry and Government greatly facilitates communication and allows problems to be evaluated and examined from different points of view. The bauxite/alumina industry was selected for discussion because of its significance in the economy of Jamaica. It contributed about 16% of the country's total Gross Domestic Product in 1970, and is the economic sector with the greatest potential for growth. Jamaica's present viable mineral industry only dates back to 19S2 when Reynolds Jamaica Mines, Limited started the export of kiln dried metallurgical grade bauxite ore. This was followed shortly by the production and export of alumina by the then Alumina Jamaica Limited (now Alcan Jamaica, Limited), a subsidiary of the Aluminium Company of Canada. The commencement of this new and major industry followed a successful exploration and development programme which resulted largely from the keen perception and perseverance of two men. First, Mr. R.F. Innis observed that some of the cattle lands on the St. Ann plateau were potential sources of aluminium ore, and then Sir Alfred DaCosta persisted in attempts to interest aluminium companies in undertaking exploration work here.

Fairfax Drive Prepared by: Suite 600 Arlington, VA 22203 Tel: +1-571-227-9000 Fax: +1-571-227-9001 www.paconsulting.com Version: 1.0 Jamaica Social Investment Fund 7/14/09 FOREWORD This report is the compilation of deliverables under the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) contract with PA Consulting Group (PA) to provide input in the design of the tourism sector elements of the Second National Community Development Project (NCDP2). Rural poverty is a major challenge for Jamaica, with the rural poverty rate twice the level of the urban areas. There is large potential for rural development, especially through closer linkages with the large and expanding tourism sector which offers numerous opportunities that are yet to be tapped. Improvements in productivity and competitiveness are key to realizing the potential synergies between tourism and small farmer agriculture. The objective of the proposed NCDP2 is to increase income and jobs in poor communities in targeted rural areas. Because of the focus on productive, income generating initiatives, the NCDP 2 project was named Rural Enterprise Development Initiative (REDI). The project l builds on the success of the community-based development approach utilized under NCDP1. The focus of income generation interventions will be supported by rural-based tourism development, agricultural technology improvements in small and medium farms, and the linkages between agriculture and tourism.

  • Jamaica‟S Physical Features
    Jamaica‟s Physical Features Objective: Describe Jamaica‟s physical features. Jamaica has physical features including: valleys, mountains, hills, rivers, waterfalls, plateau, caves, cays, mineral springs, harbours and plains. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 1 Valleys A valley is a low area that lies between two hills or mountains. A list of valleys in Jamaica is shown below. St. James Queen of Spain Valley Trelawny Queen of Spain Valley Hanover Great River Westmoreland Dean St. Catherine Luidas Vale St. Mary St Thomas in the Vale Portland Rio Grande St. Thomas Plantain Garden www.caribbeanexams.com Page 2 Mountains The mountains of the island can be broken up into three main groups. The first group is in the eastern section composed primarily of the Blue Mountain. This group also has the John Crow Mountains and is the most easterly mountain range in the island. They run from north-west to south-east in the parish of Portland and divide the Rio Grande valley from the east coast of the island. The second group or central region is formed chiefly of limestone, and extends from Stony Hill in St Andrew to the Cockpit country. The central range starts from Stony Hill and runs in a north westerly direction through Mammee Hill, Red Hills, Bog Walk, Guy's Hill, Mount Diablo and finally into the Cockpit country. The third group is the western section with Dolphin Head as its centre. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 3 Major Mountains www.caribbeanexams.com Page 4 Rivers Major Rivers in Jamaica www.caribbeanexams.com Page 5 Black River As the main mountain ranges in Jamaica run from west to east, the rivers, which start on their slopes, generally flow north or south.

Abstract Investigating the Livelihoods of Families Operating Small Sugarcane Farms in Jamaica: A Case Study Perspective by Michael. N. Prince This research project sets out to gain theoretical insights and develop an understanding of issues relevant to the livelihoods of families operating small sugarcane farms in Jamaica. The study started with the observation that small sugarcane operations in Jamaica were on the verge of collapse. This observation was based on the existing situation together with the fact that the preferential market price Jamaica received from the European Union for sugar would be reduced by 36 per cent in the 2009/2010 marketing year, and that these families would be severely affected.

  • Ecology and Conservation Biology of the Homerus Swallowtail in Jamaica (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
    Vol. l,No. 2 1990 Homerus swallowtail: EMMEL and GARRAWAY 63 TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA, 1(2): 63-76 ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGY OF THE HOMERUS SWALLOWTAIL IN JAMAICA (LEPIDOPTERA: PAPILIONIDAE) THOMAS C. EMMEL and ERIC GARRAWAY Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611 USA, and Department of Zoology, University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston 7, Jamaica ABSTRACT.— The Homerus Swallowtail, Papilio homerus Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), once inhabited seven of the thirteen parishes on the island of Jamaica. Today, it is found only in two isolated and diminishing strongholds: an eastern population in the parishes of St. Thomas and Portland, and the western population in the rugged Cockpit Country of Trelawny and St. Elizabeth. The ecology of the remaining populations is described, including habitat characteristics, seasonally, altitudinal range, host plants, behavior and other associated biological information. A summary of the stages of life history is illustrated by color photographs. The principal threats to the continued existence of the species are (1) destruction of the virgin wet rain forest habitat, and (2) commercial collecting in the remaining small populations. The establishment of patrolled nature reserves or a national park is recommended for the remaining habitat areas, as well as a possible butterfly farming program to lessen pressures on small wild populations. KKY WORDS: Agehana, butterfly fanning, Hernandiaceae, immature stages, Lauraceae, life history, Ornithoptera, Papilio homerus, population ecology, West Indies. Fig. 1.

It is concerned with three lines of inquiry throughout different historical junctures from the late nineteenth century to the late 1960s. To what extent did colonial and post-colonial ideas around the peasantry’s role within the island’s economic development change over the course of the twentieth century? In what ways did the colonial and national development policies, drafted throughout the different historical junctures, reflect those changing ideas? Whose voices were heard and whose needs were met in the articulation of the policies on the ground? By reconstructing the evolving models of development in the island, this dissertation illustrates the significant role of small and middle-sized growers, tenants, and agricultural laborers in the political process.

This project has helped to assess capacity needs for/and capacity building opportunities for: biodiversity conservation and protected area management, particularly in Key Biodiversity Areas in the English-speaking Caribbean. It has provided useful information regarding capacity needs and opportunities that can help guide interventions to address the challenges that organizations in these areas face as they try to implement biodiversity conservation in protected areas. The top five capacity weaknesses which organizations identified were: inadequate funding (particularly for material and human resources), organizational policies and procedures, financial planning and management, training (knowledge and skills) and leadership. Whilst training was something which they considered useful and necessary to improve their work, it was not a major priority as the other needs were more overwhelming. The main project deliverables – the Tool and the Report are attached as Appendices 1 and 2 respectively and the information garnered in the Literature Review is also attached, as Appendix 3.

Their presence depends on the occurrence of trees necessary for feeding, nesting, and roosting. Highest densities were recorded in a wooded pasture and a mesophytic forest, with an average of 22 and 20/km, respectively. The high figures for these locales are possibly related to their structural complexity-well developed vertical stratification, high tree species diversity, and numerous epiphytes, all of which increase both the area available for foraging and the amount of foods present. Censuses in Jamaica and Florida indicate that in some habitats the Jamaican Woodpeckers maintain comparable or higher densities and biomass than do several species of Florida woodpeckers in comparable habitats.
