I agree .. we should protect and preserve the cockpit country even if we have to use our bodies as a group of protesters and stop them... I think the artists and organizers in Jamaica should perform a free concert to get more attention on this situation and to get the word out for a peaceful protest or several protests until they listen to us and stop the foolery.
@@hughgrant4778 nope they're not ready. Only if they was going to get some freeness. Are the government command them to do something stupid. Or if the police shoot a criminal. Not saying they always shoot criminals sometimes the innocent. 😭. Some police are criminals but that's not the point right now. I think most Jamaicans have lost their zeal and they're afraid to stand. 😭 It's very sad.
Now is the time for my Jamaicans to put minds and might together and fight for the protection of this beautiful treasure Cockpit Country!Dont let outsiders destroy what little we have left as Ours!
I have to comment again If they destroy this place where will these beautiful animals live? Because the cockpit country is their home, oh my I love watching these animals I smiled throughout the entire video, wish they would just leave this place alone.
I can never forget living and and enjoying the health benefits, natural resources like plants, food that were farmed and grown in the Cockpit country. I also enjoyed the waterways such the lagoon river,Martha Brae river, the streams and tributaries.
@@trevorthomas2773 I wasnt born Maroon, but I have the Maroon spirit and will join you in your quest to preserve Cockpit and the rest of Jamaica from destruction from these greedy politicians. The Most High isnt sleeping!!
I didn't know snakes live in Jamaica wow this cockpit movement really helped me to learn so much about my country I didn't even know there was a place called cockpit country in Jamaica until the protests against the government for trying to sell this place feel ashamed I know only so little about my country. Never knew there were so much beautiful unique animals living in my little country, so beautiful and I enjoyed watching the documentary, please save our cockpit country, Mr Holness leave this beautiful place alone.
I love this Video so much! Not only the cockpits but it reminds me of the peacefulness and the spirit of natural simplicity of Jamaicans. I want to live on the outskirts of the cockpit country. When next I visit, I am gonna locate 'Me Were' (that's his new nickname) and ask him to give me a tour of the entire cockpit country.
It would be useful for the Government and Private sectors to create an awareness campaign to educate the public about this very vital place including tours, publication and certainly programs like this. Very well done...keep up the good work.
Loved your video. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I've been to Jamaica many, many time but I've never ventured into Cockpit country. Your love for the area can certainly be heard in your beautiful accents and voices. Please continue educating your fellow country men about the beauty and diversity of Jamaica. It is a country I've come to love over my many visits. I hope that it remains the same way for future generations.
Give thanks and praise,, Yes the master of the universe is For Real,,I thank the Almighty master to have given me grandparents to be born in Jamaica I like what you are doing we,,,,,,we ,are who we are out of many one people Ian this time we are looking to move forward peace and love let me be clear the National Heroes switch has nanny pod Brooklyn

Wait dah one minute .......we have snakes in jamaica ???? Mi feel shame to know i don't know that place ( cockpit country ) or if it exit wow !!! So that takes me now to say a lot of jamaicans don't know three quarter of jamaica been as poor as myself who has to have money to visit a lot of places , yes in JAMAICA if someone find a little nice spot to chill free of cost And its nice ....It's funny to say rich ppl come buy it out from different country and that's not rite smh , am hurt to just buck up on this site knowing that we have a lot and not protecting that place that has all those beauty ? OMG !!!!!!!
Yes, mi lovely Jamaica....when we tek Jesus Christ out a di creation a it, den we end up inna mess...all things are created by Him, and by Him all things are held together. Thank you God for this sweet and beautiful Island, continue to guide it with Your mighty hand.
Wow! I live in Jamaica and I’ve never known that the cockpit country was so beautiful. I just forwarded this to my friends and family and we would like to visit. Do we have to make reservations to meet with someone for a tour?
Don't wait till dem sell it Breda unu fi rise up now and start it.. remember say we are a generation of rebellious slaves that stood up and fought for our freedom yesterday so we affi war for dem today, with their strength. ASE🙏🏾 👊🏿👊🏿
Mining has already damaged St Catherin wast is eating away at the limesyone which it has been put in. This has affected the vegitation around the area This environmental tragedy needs to be cleaned up. The wast will hit the water table, and poison it. Companies come and polite and then take off with their money and leave up to fen for ourselves. It has happen begore😰😞😒
Omg you guys are doing everything to hold our heritage together the only thing left is violence and I really hope we dont have to return to the old days.
The beauty of the various life forms are wonderful and the young men and the young women that eloquently described and defended the reasons for harmony amongst all lifeforms are to my delight, a nature lover...
do you realize that jamaica is country that is of many ethnicities,and nationalities , there fore many different beliefs?? all jamaicans do not believe in the same thing friend, there are muslims, and hindus, jews and voodoo believers , if its in other parts of the world it is in jamaica, dont be so closed minded
And Chinese greetings from Tucson Arizona. Sonoran desert. Background Bio science. Specialty in ecology and natural resource management. Love Jah. Earth. One people one planet one love for all things
I hope ppl pay attention to what’s important and come off social media and other distractions and work together to make the vampires stop taking from the people
Everything is to be done to protect this area. It must be left untouched. More than 20 years ago, I visited on a school trip and that the only place in jamaica I saw a parrot 🦜 in the wild. It a beautiful place and I trust that it remain in its original form .
DO NOT CUT DOWN or ALTER THE COCKPIT COUNTRY, many animals depend on living there. The ANIMALS will die because their environment has been altered. ALSO, the Cockpit country provides lots of oxygen for the country.
Jamaicans, get up, stand up for our cockpit country!! Jamaica, a land of wood and water. If mining takes place, the beauty of our nation will be no more.
Forests are threatened all over the world - In Canada they want to cut them down to build houses and in other places they want to cut timber or mine them. The only way to protect rain forests is to make them profitable - people see them as waste lands that can be developed so the threat will always be there. We can make them profitable by making them tourist friendly - Lots of tourist all over the world are interested in forests because they were born in concrete jungles. For is like heaven to them so they will pay big bucks to tour them. While coming from Jamaica in November I happened to sit by a gentleman who told me that he paid US$200 for he and his wife to go on a bird watching tour. Many people don't know that people are willing to pay that kind of money that's why they see the forests as bush. It begins with education and videos like this is a great start
Love this video but the snakes can stay out I don't like snake at all just watching them now give me the creep,that's the only thing I don't like about this video. Love mi little piece a rock big up yourself mi little Jamaica.
The "millions of years" thing so takes away from the credibility of this presentation. From whence have you gotten this fantasy idea? For Creationists, yea, for Biblicists, we realize that the Earth is not even 7,000 years old.
Leave the cockpit community alone don’t creat any disasters for the country if it’s money you want then it’s a natural tourist destination so much to gain from the place and don’t have to spend a cent open your eyes mr pm don’t let history judge you in the bad ways
An emphatic NO to bauxite minings. It would be a disaster for the area to end up like my home village in St Ann. It is a barren wasteland. Polluted and toxic. The workers are exploited. When they want on strike for better pay and conditions and government and the mining companies broke the strike by bringing in workers. The strikers were sacked. From then on permanent employment stopped. To keep workers in slave conditions and drive down wages even further workers are rotated every 2 days if you complain you simply do not get hired, I think that extractive industries are unconscionable and racist. Their nefarious actions affect all communities in the same way. In the village where I was born in Jamaica, the government and mining company talked villagers into selling their land and homes. They were given promises of a new village elsewhere with improved facilities, better houses than the ones they had before and good land so they could continue farming. The villagers sold and nothing happened for more than a decade. By the time the mining companies showed up, the money villages got for their property was long gone. Those who refused to sell; their land and property were compulsorily purchased. The new house and land turned out to be less than promised. The land was poor and stony so nothing could grow there. To survive, the farmers were forced to work in England and the USA. The villagers were simple farmers, they did know what mining meant. They did not know that they had signed away their future and the future of the land and all its inhabitants. All extractive industries behave in the same way. They exploit local workers. They abuse local communities and they abuse, rape and poison the environment. They don't care about the effect their activities have on local communities. Their responsibilities begin and end with the bottom line - shareholders. They don't have to live with the consequences of deforestation, loss of biodiversity, the poisoning of land, water and air.
Please save the cockpit country , stand up for your rights Jamaican people
I never know about that place until I buck up on this video hun smh
