The more productive land resources of the country are underutilized, while many of the more fragile ecosystems are in danger. This threatens to deny the country potential income from ecotourism as well as deprive future generations of a stable land, forest, and water base. The optimal use of the country's land resources requires a stable and secure tenure system defining land rights. The Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago contracted the Land Tenure Center to carry out land rationalization studies, which are intended to assist in the preparation of an action plan to deal with the problems of the land tenure system. The result was the preparation of twenty-one studies, which have been organized into two LTC research papers. This first paper explores the nature and extent of tenure insecurities in both urban and rural contexts, with a focus on agricultural land tenure problems. Several hypotheses are advanced concerning the possible constraints that legal and social insecurity of tenure pose for the future development of the country. Also explored are the environmental problems that past tenure regimes have helped generate, and what might comprise a strategy for protecting fragile.
1Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) is legendary for many social and cultural indulgences such as the Carnival, the limbo dance, the steel drum bands, and calypso/soca.  Held annually, the carnival is responsible for the largest influx of visitors (over 39,000 in 2008) from around the world to the twin-island nation as reported by the Ministry of Tourism, in its 2004-2008 Achievement Report.  Known as the greatest festival in the world, the carnival is also credited for fuelling the growth of over 93 similarly constructed festivals around the world generating in excess of 0 million dollars in additional economic activity (Joseph, 2000).  There is also much controversy about the increased population growth as a result of the sexual activities prevalent during the festivities.  Martin (2011), reports that the “Carnival baby” has been a long standing joke in Trinidad and Tobago for decades, and that there is a 15% increase in the number of births every November and December as a result of the amount of unprotected sex occurring during the Carnival season.  This behavior, according to the author, implies an increased risk of the range of sexually transmitted infections including HIV.  Many young people offer sex for sale to Carnival visitors despite warnings of the rising incidence of sex tourism and HIV/AIDS in the nation (Morris, 2011).   2Recently, a local newspaper article brought to the forefront the increase irresponsibility and unsafe sexual behavior that occurs during the Carnival season despite numerous campaigns involving the Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FPATT) together with the Population Services International/Caribbean, which launched a line of condoms called Cool Condoms expected to reduce the level of irresponsible sexual behavior during the season.  According to the report, a spike in unwanted pregnancies, abortions, and STDs in the months.

HistoryWhen Trinidad was explored by Columbus in 1498, it was inhabited by the Arawaks; Carib Indians inhabited Tobago. Trinidad remained in Spanish possession, despite raids by other European nations, until it was ceded to Britain in 1802. Tobago passed between Britain and France several times, but it was ultimately given to Britain in 1814. Slavery was abolished in 1834. Between 1845 and 1917, thousands of indentured workers were brought from India to work on sugarcane plantations. In 1889 Trinidad and Tobago were made a single colony. Partial self-government was instituted in 1925, and from 1958 to 1962 the nation was part of the West Indies Federation. On Aug. 31, 1962, it gained independence and on Aug. 1, 1976, Trinidad and Tobago became a republic, remaining within the Commonwealth. While the country is a stable democracy and enjoys the highest living standards in the Caribbean thanks to oil revenue, tension between East Indians and blacks has underlined much of political life. In 1970 the tension was the underlying cause of riots, protests, and an army mutiny.
