The Caribbean island of Barbuda is being bulldozed by celebrity billionaires & foreign companies. Help us stop disaster capitalism. #SaveBarbuda 🇦🇬

Our team is on the island of Barbuda to support local land defenders who are witnessing accelerated efforts by government and corporate actors to capture more land & permanently exclude locals

🟢 The United Nations General Assembly recognized the human right to a clean, healthy & sustainable environment in July 2022.

🟢 This followed @UN Human Rights Council resolution *48/13* recognizing the right in 2021.

🟢 This is a landmark achievement for our common future.

5 years ago, #HurricaneIrma devastated Barbuda.

Today, luxury tourism projects are putting islanders at increased risk of natural disasters, intensified by #ClimateChange.

Residents have lost land, resources and a centuries-old way of life to private investors.

One of the backers of the Barbuda Ocean Club is John Paul DeJoria. The self-described environmentalist, who is worth an estimated $3.2bn, sits on the board of Waterkeeper Alliance
