Portraying two futures influenced by human practices, the animation Caroni is inspired by the scarlet ibis. The scarlet ibis is the national bird dear to the people of Trinidad and Tobago, the story set in the Caroni Swamp, a wetland of significant biodiversity there.

Poaching is a serious threat to the scarlet ibis, a bird that also faces the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. This piece is in solidarity with protection efforts to heighten awareness about disrupting ecosystems and the risk of depriving future generations.
