Stichting Uniek Curaçao is in 2020 gestart aan de ontwikkeling van een driedelige natuur- & cultuurbundel.
Deze bundel beschrijft Bándabou, het centrale gedeelte en Bándariba met als onderwerpen de natuur, cultuur
en geschiedenis van deze gebieden. De inhoud van de boeken is erop gericht om de kennis over het eiland bij
de bewoner te verhogen (Konosé bo isla) en de bezoeker meer te leren over Curaçao.
De serie wordt in het Papiamentu, Nederlands en Engels ontwikkeld.
