ForumAntilles- Series on Environmental Issues in Bonaire

For a sense of some recent environmental issues and grassroots
activism in Bonaire have a look at this site.

http://www.forumantilles.com/currenttopics.html

Sean Paton an ex-pat from the UK who has lived in Bonaire for years
explores issues such as waste water from cruise ships and landfill
waste to removal of nature storm berms for construction material.
Plenty to consider as we prepare for our trip. Mr. Paton hosts a
weekly radio show so you might want to tune in and see what folks are
talking about.

Here are a couple of his videos I found particularly interesting.
Perhaps we can ask Mr. Paton to come meet with us during our stay.
