ROOTED Ep 4: Anna Cadiz-Hadeed - CANARI (Broader Caribbean)

In this episode of Rooted, we are speaking with Anna Cadiz-Hadeed, Deputy Executive Director and Staff Partner of the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute – CANARI – a regional non-profit technical institute headquartered in Port of Spain, Trinidad, that has been working across the Caribbean for more than thirty years.This is a conversation about what it truly means to put people at the centre of conservation. What it looks like when communities are not consulted but genuinely empowered to steward the natural resources their lives and livelihoods depend on. And what happens when an organisation spends three decades holding that belief, even when the world makes it hard.From participatory natural resource management to regional grant-making, to advocating for small island developing states on the world stage, Anna brings twenty years of experience, extraordinary depth, and a quietly radical vision to this work. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling more connected to the Caribbean – to the land and sea that make us who we are, and to the people who have dedicated their lives to keeping it whole.This podcast is hosted by Chantal MillerProduced by BreAnna Holmes & Chantal MillerEdited by BreAnna HolmesSee more from CANARI here: canari.orgSee more from the Clara Lionel Foundation here: claralionelfoundation.orgSee more from Island Girls Rock here: islandgirlsrock.com Hosted on Acast.
