The Caribbean is known for its lush rainforests and idyllic beaches, but the region is also susceptible to droughts. And we are in the midst of one right now. These dry periods can have a significant impact on the islands’ water resources, agriculture, and tourism industries.
While the northern Caribbean recently received heavy rainfall, other parts of the Caribbean got little or none. We are currently under water restrictions, and have had a few wildfires !!
