Cuba and Venezuela Consolidate Environmental Project

Havana, Jul 5 (acn) More than 200 experts on coastal areas from 
Venezuela improved their professional skills after four years of 
cooperated environmental work along side Cuban professionals.

Juan M. Martinez, with Cuba's Environment Agency told ACN the group 
includes researchers as well as government and non-government 
officials, who are considered important in the preservation and 
rehabilitation of coastal lines.

He said the joint project served to consolidate a methodology for the 
identification and assessment of environmental problems and impacts in 
the coastal states of the country.

Martinez said Cuba and Venezuela are working on the comprehensive 
management and environmental distribution of all 14 Venezuelan coastal 
regions and Natural Protected Areas.

Likewise, the experts drew up a comprehensive approach for the 
implementation of sustainable community-based tourist projects in those 
areas, without overlooking the maintenance and protection of the 
biological diversity.

Martinez is the Executive Secretary of the 6th International Convention 
on Environment and Development wrapping up Friday at Havana's 
Convention Center.
