Here is the story of a participatory mapping exercise done on Union Island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean.
The second of such exercise to be done in the Caribbean under the theme "working with people and nature to find solutions to climate change".
The film gives a glimpse into the, happiness, trials and tribulations of the local people as they participate in a unique participatory mapping process led by Sustainable Grenadines Inc.(SusGren), a local NGO, with support provided by TNC and CTA.
The film also speaks to the local people’s ideas of sustainable development and livelihood opportunities for them and their families.
It also highlights the changes the local community has experienced over the years in their environment and how they have already started to adapt. It certainly takes you in the life of a Unionite and their small island....
midst the challenges of a degrading marine and coastal environment, development pressure from tourism and climate change local people through the mapping process came together with one voice to develop a plan of action for their island future.

The film has been produced with funding provided by CTA. Director: Jess Phillimore
