We would like to share an invitation to virtually attend the launch of the publication: Beyond Boundaries: Save Cockpit Country Movement – a powerful reflection on decades of environmental activism and collaboration to protect one of Jamaica’s most ecologically and culturally important landscapes.

Cockpit Country is one of two remaining living areas for Papilio homerus, the largest butterfly species in the western hemisphere.  This talk will explore: Why Cockpit Country matters, the events that ignited national attention, the strategies that sustained public pressure, and the creative works that captured the spirit of resistance. It also acknowledges the tensions and lessons from working across diverse groups and voices, and celebrates key victories.

Please consider attending this talk:
