“…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.” from the introduction by I.
