Our Fragments of Hope

In August 2024, the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) invited regional journalists to participate in their Media Forum and Tour in Placencia, Belize. This programme was part of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union’s 35th Caribbean Media Awards and Annual General Assembly.

This year, the CCCCC's programme included visiting the UNESCO-protected Laughing Bird Caye National Park in Palencia, Belize. The journalists witnessed Fragments of Hope's work restoring and monitoring the National Park’s coral reef.

While on tour, BGIS Officer Esther Jones met Dr Elon Cadogan, who volunteered for Fragments of Hope.

Dr Cadogan transferred some of what he learned about coral restoration and monitoring to Barbados, where he volunteers with the Coral Reef Restoration Alliance (CORALL).
