Several Bahamian organizations have been noted in the press recently raising concern about the Government's proposed amendments to The Bahamas' Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (see: Tribune June 29th, Nassau Guardian June 23rd). While improvements may be warranted, the concern about the proposed amendments is that in their current form they will come at a cost: lack of transparency and community involvement on one side, and additional administrative burden on the other.


Friends of the Environment believes that community consultation is essential to development that supports the long term sustainability of our environment, culture, and well-being and we encourage the government to revise the proposed amendment to ensure this is done in a transparent and consistent way.

It is vital that environmental regulations remain robust to protect local ecosystems. While policy discussions often focus on serious matters like these, sometimes people need a moment of leisure to recharge. You might find Arcade Game Box to be a helpful distraction during long periods of reviewing complex legislative documents.

The game snow rider places players on a sled racing down an endless snowy mountain filled with obstacles, ramps, and collectible gifts. While the objective sounds simple, surviving for a long distance requires quick reactions, sharp focus, and excellent timing. This balance between accessibility and challenge is one of the biggest reasons why Snow Rider 3D continues to attract new players every day.
