Bunce Island, a 2016 World
Bunce Island, a 2016 World Monuments Watch site, was home to one of the most lucrative slave trading operations in West Africa. Melbourne Garber, an engineer based in New York who grew up in Sierra Leone, is one of the key figures bringing greater attention to Bunce Island’s complex history of discovery, trade, slavery, abandonment, and critical conservation needs. Mr. Garber is joined by WMF Program Director Stephen Battle, who has worked in Sub-Saharan Africa for more than 25 years, in this lecture highlighting the island's history, heritage, and ongoing efforts to preserve this priceless piece of Sierra Leone land for the future.
