The proposed Paradise Park development is a sustainable luxury resort on Jamaica’s south coast in Westmoreland, about 3 km from Savanna-La-Mar. The 1,120-acre site includes a variety of ecosystems such as mangroves, swamps, forests, beaches, and grasslands. The project is designed to integrate with these natural habitats while offering high-end accommodations, a golf course, wellness facilities, and recreational amenities, all prioritizing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. The project aligns with Jamaica’s government policies on sustainable development and is set to be a model for sustainable tourism in the Caribbean, blending luxury with environmental preservation.

The National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) requires an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed development. This EIA aims to evaluate the project’s potential environmental impacts, ensuring sustainable development with minimal adverse effects and optimized social and economic benefits. The EIA follows a structured process, assessing impacts on resources, ecosystems, communities, and human health. The study includes scoping, baseline data collection, impact prediction, mitigation measures, public consultation, and monitoring plans. It uses a mix of primary and secondary data, including statistical and spatial analysis, to establish a baseline environment and predict future impacts. Extensive literature, data from agencies, and geographic tools like GIS have been utilized for analysis.
