Het afgelegen Caribische eiland Saba wordt liefkozend ‘de onbedorven koningin’ genoemd, vanwege het onaangetaste karakter van haar natuurlijke omgeving. Vier eeuwen geleden vestigden Europese kolonisten uit Zeeland (Nederland) en de Britse Eilanden zich op het eiland en veranderden het gedeeltelijk in een cultuurlandschap met een opvallend karakter en een inheemse architectuur die het waard is om goed beschermd te worden.
