Caribbean American Heritage Month is observed annually in June in the United States, providing a time to honor and celebrate the vibrant histories, diverse cultures, and lasting contributions of Caribbean Americans. For the Latin American & Caribbean Working Group, we want to use June to highlight the profound influence that people of Caribbean descent have had in shaping culture and contributing to natural resource conservation across the globe
