Every year on the 22nd of May, International Day for Biodiversity is commemorated across the globe.
This year’s theme is “We’re part of the solution #ForNature”.
In keeping with the theme, Democratic National Alliance (DNA) Team Leader for St. Peter, Chaneil Imhoff conducted a cleanup activity at the Jordan Pier in Parham Town.
The area, which is adjacent to the Fisheries Complex, is extremely important to the Biological Diversity of the surrounding waters.
Mangrove forests are structurally diverse ecosystems, sustaining high biodiversity as well as rich seafood supplies.
Partly submerged in the ocean, mangroves form a tangled web of above-ground roots, creating a unique and complex habitat for all sorts of marine life.
The area is not only a popular fishing and leisure spot but a crucial natural resource that not only protects and promoted biodiversity but Mangroves also reduce the impacts of waves, storm surges and high winds.
Imhoff noted: “From nature-based solutions to climate, health issues, food and water security, and sustainable livelihoods, biodiversity is the foundation upon which we can build back better.”
She is calling for the installation of bolted garbage receptacles at the site as well as a dedicated and consistent cleanup schedule, signage, and a more robust push towards repairing the Jordan Pier and its immediate environs.
The cleanup was supported by other DNA Team Leaders and members of the Parham Alliance Beautification and Revitalization Organization (PABRO).

Hold on a second! Wasn’t this young lady a part of the UPP St. Peters primary? Now she is a leader for DNA? Wow! Go figure.
Where have you been? It’s been almost 6 months and she made her position clear MONTHS ago. Get a grip.
Go where you can grow Mrs. Imhoff. We are still rooting for you.
Okay, and? The two options we have right now are incompetent and played out. We nerd New, Fresh and Dynamic people at the helm and DNA is making it happen!
Change is not just a concept – it is in our DNA!
You miss my point. Of course. Is it not a bit disconcerting to watch people change sides like chameleons change colour? The PM called this a “rotten element.” Others have dubbed it ” flip-flop pancake.”Where is the loyalty here? Disloyalty is in our “DNA?” Wow.
You are the one missing the point.
People have a right to go where they can grow.
If you’ve been following, you would see exactly what happened and not had this weird stance.
If someone is being kept down and deliberately undermined, do you think that staying there would actually help anyone? You see where the UPP has been going and that is not a place for growth Ask them if they are having a Convention before Elections. This young woman did what many before her could not do. She moved on with GRACE and has been doing WORK instead of talking.
