ABSTRACT
The primary objective of a conservation strategy for a developing country is to build the institutional frameworks needed to solve conservation problems and facilitate the sustainable development of renewable natural resources. A successful method, Robert Roth suggests, involves the strengthening of environmental education and information dissemination capabilities, with emphasis on public environmental management education and training programs as strategies for the establishment of sound management plans, developmental goals, and an environmental ethic. Field studies from the Dominican Republic and Barbados illustrate the model's success.
