Against all odds,” says JV Hart, Director of Paradise Found.

These special places in nature, rich in biodiversity, are protected for the benefit of all. Forever.” says Frank Roulstone, Executive Director of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands. “Brigitte found paradise in Little Cayman and has spent her life trying to keep it the paradise that it is,” says Mr. Roulstone, "Her pursuit of her dream should be an inspiration to us all." says Mr. Roulstone.
