Preserving a Future for all Jamaicans
We are designed to be the primary source of financial support for Jamaica’s Protected Areas System.
The National Conservation Trust Fund of Jamaica
We are focused on funding solutions which transform lives and livelihoods while building a climate resilient Jamaica.
The NCTFJ was established as a not-for-profit NGO to source and provide sustainable funding for Protected Areas in Jamaica. It is designed to be the primary source of financial support for Jamaica’s Protected Areas System, in collaboration with government and non-government partners.
Transforming Lives, Safeguarding Livelihoods.
We provide grants to eligible non-governmental organizations as well as relevant public-sector agencies directly involved in the management of protected areas.
We fund activities that contribute to the long-term sustainability of Jamaica’s National Protected Areas System (NPAS) including: conservation, research, infrastructure preservation and development, as well as education and enforcement.

Our Protected Areas
Jamaica’s breath-taking beauty and appeal as a great place to live and visit, is underpinned by a rich eco-system of nestling mountain ranges, terrestrial national parks, forest and game reserves, rivers, marine parks, fish sanctuaries as well as unique heritage sites and landmarks, where flora and fauna find habitat in delicate balance with human activities.
