Dear colleagues,
This opportunity may be of interest to anyone working on Small Island Developing States, national ecosystems assessments in LDCs, or related topics. Grenada is launching a National Ecosystem Assessment, organized and managed by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) in cooperation with the Government of Grenada. They have assembled an interesting and eclectic team of academics, practitioners, and local and regional stakeholders but still are looking for additional lead authors for several chapters. There is a particular need for social scientists. The work is voluntary but promises to be interesting. I have worked on various projects in Grenada over the years and have learned a lot and developed some rewarding and lasting relationships. I will be a Coordinating Lead Author for one of the chapters. Experience in the Caribbean would be useful but is not necessary. The organizers would prefer authors with relevant terminal degrees but anyone with a record of related research and publications would be considered.
If you are interested or know anyone who might be, please contact me. I will do my best to answer any questions and/or make the introductions to the project director at CANARI who will be able to give you more details.
Stay healthy, safe, and optimistic (not easy, I know)!
Best wishes,
Jonathan
