A strategic step for Richès Karayib

Since its creation, Richès Karayib has been promoting culture, heritage, tourism and the women and men who shape the Caribbean’s attractiveness and influence. Membership of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union consolidates this trajectory by opening up new prospects:

Joining the Caribbean Broadcasting Union also enables Richès Karayib to place its productions within a demanding regional framework, where content quality, journalistic rigor and editorial impact are decisive.

Building a structured Caribbean media space

The Caribbean is rich in talent, culture and initiative. However, content produced in one territory is still not widely distributed to other islands and countries in the region. One of the major challenges of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union is precisely to promote this circulation and encourage regional collaboration.

By joining the Caribbean Broadcasting Union, Richès Karayib is affirming its desire to play an active part in this dynamic. This is not just institutional recognition, but a commitment: to contribute to a more connected, visible and structured Caribbean media.

This approach is in line with Richès Karayib’s mission to promote the region’s talents, initiatives and heritage, while encouraging synergies between regions.

Setting course for the CBU Media Awards

As part of this membership, Richès Karayib will take part in the 37th CBU Media Awards organized by the Caribbean Broadcasting Union. Richès Karayib’s participation is in line with the company’s commitment to professionalization and regional outreach.

Beyond the competition, the CBU Media Awards represent a space for Caribbean media to meet, exchange ideas and gain visibility. For RK, it’s a further opportunity to promote a committed editorial voice in the service of the Caribbean.

Sint Eustatius: The Quill Crater Hides a 300-meter Forest

On Sint Eustatius, a Dutch-speaking island in the Caribbean, the Quill crater is 760 meters in diameter and plunges to a depth of more than 300 meters. This volcano, which has been dormant for about 1,600 years, is large enough to harbor an entire tropical forest at its base, invisible from the sea. The main trail on the Quill, maintained by the STENAPA Foundation (St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation), climbs for 1.6 kilometers before reaching the crater’s rim. The round-trip takes between one and two hours, depending on the route you choose. In this southeastern part of the island of Sint Eustatius, the vegetation changes in just a few meters. The dry scrub that covers most of the island gives way to a volcanic cliff face and then, at the summit, to the entrance of a rainforest found nowhere else on the island. The Quill crater rises to an elevation
