People and Nature Student Winner Lydia Gibson's 'Birds of a feather' said: 'Greater Antilles Bird hunting is part of rural Caribbean culture and a mechanism through which other associated forest lore and tradition, such as wayfinding and plant knowledge that can improve conservation science - are maintained. This photograph, taken in a newly designated protected area, captures the complex biological and cultural considerations of hunting threatened parrots.'

Lydia Gibson, UCL Anthropology and Minke Newman, University of West Indies & Keron Campbell, Natural History Museum, Jamaica are the recipients of a CCHS Small Grants Scheme awarded in July 2018 for their project Cataloguing Maroon forest-based traditions and knowledge during the process of conservation change.
