Recognizing Saint Lucia’s Conservation Heroes
“The narrow eyes of sprit-illiterate men, squinted almost shut from scrutinizing watermarks on dollar bills have never read what Earth wrote here. This island, 238 pages of illuminated manuscript was written in a language they have never learned.” These are the passionate words of poet and educator, Kendal Hippolyte from his recent work, Island Poem an ode, to conscious, conservation-focused development of Saint Lucia’s heritage and patrimony, which he recited at a recent tribute by the Saint Lucia National Trust to Sir Julian R Hunte, and one of its most long-standing members and well-known historian, Dr. Gregor Williams.
