Appalling..
Land clearance near Fort Rocky in the Palisadoes-Port Royal Protected Area—despite clear rules against it. Now that the damage is done, what’s next? Who will be held responsible?

This is absolutely horrendous. Declaring a protected area means NOTHING in Jamaica. @matthewsamuda @AndrewHolnessJM @nepajamaica

Heartily sick of the urging. Just transmits that the speaker is out of ideas or strategies..
People will always do what they can get away with. Urging, pleading & encouraging isn't an effective strategy.

It had been ever thus..
At the UN Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on a global plastics treaty, in Busan, Korea: countries with a vested interest in the status quo keep asking for binding words like "shall" to be replaced with non-binding ones like "should" or "encourage", defanging the exercise.
