En Jamaica, la privatización de las playas ha alcanzado niveles extremos. Solo el 0,6% de los 1.022 kilómetros de costa es accesible de forma pública para los residentes locales. La mayoría de las zonas costeras han sido vendidas a promotores privados que construyen resorts y complejos turísticos de lujo, cerrando el acceso tradicional de los jamaiquinos a estas playas. Esta práctica no es nueva, pero en los últimos cinco años se ha intensificado considerablemente, y se espera que para 2030 se construyan 10.000 nuevas habitaciones hoteleras que restringirán aún más el acceso a los locales. La Ley de Control de Playas de 1956, heredada de la época colonial británica, permite al Estado transferir terrenos costeros a manos privadas, manteniendo vigente una normativa que limita los derechos públicos al litoral. Este modelo contrasta con otros destinos, como Groenlandia, donde el turismo se gestiona de manera controlada y respetuosa con la cultura local y el entorno, fomentando la convivencia entre residentes y visitantes. La situación en Jamaica refleja un problema de inequidad: aunque el país genera 4.300 millones de dólares en ingresos turísticos, solo un 40% se queda en la isla. La privatización extrema de playas amenaza los medios de vida locales y evidencia la necesidad de un turismo más sostenible y consciente, que respete tanto los derechos de la población como la preservación del entorno.

The Issue
End the Poisoning of Dogs in Jamaica, Regulate Paraquat and Strengthen Animal Protection Laws
As a dedicated animal rescuer working in Jamaica with Compassion Kind and Portland Pups, I have witnessed the horrific suffering caused by the intentional poisoning of dogs. Dogs are being poisoned with toxic herbicides, including paraquat, commonly known through products such as Gramoxone or Gramexone. These animals do not die quickly or peacefully. They suffer severe pain, vomiting, organ damage, respiratory distress, and in many cases, a slow and agonizing death.
