The Green Legacy of St. Vincent & the Grenadines
by I. Rhonda King
“…Saint Vincent…occupies a pivotal
place in the origins of environmentalism.
It was on this island that a piece of
legislation—the King’s Hill Enclosure
Ordinance—was enacted in 1791. This
legislation, which was based on the novel
concept that deforestation might cause a
decline in rainfall, is thought to be the first
piece of legislation of its kind.”
