“Fresh Almonds”
We’re holding a photography competition that celebrates the fantastic biodiversity of Portland in Jamaica. This region’s richness of life makes it an area of outstanding beauty, from mountain to rainforest to beach, and the flora & fauna provide food and home to our many endemic birds, marine life and of course livestock. It’s also often forgotten that it’s this biodiversity that provides for many in Jamaica their shelter, food and even the clothes that they wear.
