AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoNature and Tourism: Aruba Birdlife Conservation is urging the government to make nature recovery central to its 2026–2031 tourism policy, calling for restoration of the Western Wetlands and a second shoco sanctuary at the former golf course in San Nicolas. The group says wetland damage is driving down migratory bird numbers. Hudishibana Development: Aruba’s court annulled government decisions denying a nature-law exemption for a proposed hotel, citing legal and procedural flaws. The ruling does not itself approve construction, which would still require the exemption. Off-Road Tours: Tour Operators Uni has proposed marked routes, GPS monitoring, penalties and 250 native trees over three years to limit damage from UTV and ATV tours; the plan is a proposal, not a final agreement. Wastewater: Parkietenbos treatment plant temporarily stopped receiving septic trucks after fuel was discharged into its receiving pit, prompting a cleanup. Heat Protection: A new policy will help care homes prepare for extreme heat, including through weather stations to monitor temperature and humidity.
