Explores conservation photographer Eladio Fernandez’s unique relationship with nature, revealing hidden stories on the islands of the Caribbean. For most, the Caribbean is a vacation spot known for its white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. For Eladio, the islands are biodiversity hotspots that are largely undocumented. These islands, and the natural wealth they possess, are in a race against time. Overpopulation, deforestation, mining, poverty, and corrupt governments threaten many of the very species this island naturalist fights to preserve.
