Show Notes

Our history is being cleared, sold, and silenced. In this episode of the history of the Caribbean, we examine the escalating crisis facing environmental activists from the nineteen nineties to the present day. We move beyond the postcard images of our islands to reveal the gritty reality of those standing on the front lines of conservation. From the sabotaged boats of marine biologists in the Greater Antilles to the disappearances of forest rangers in the Guiana Shield, the cost of protecting our land has never been higher. We investigate how international capital and local corruption have turned the defense of our mangroves and mountain ranges into a lethal occupation. This is a story of risk, where the people who love the land the most are the primary targets of those who want to strip it bare.
