Help Wildlife in Belize on a Volunteer Conservation Trip

Help Wildlife in Belize on a Volunteer Conservation Trip

Help Wildlife in Belize - Since it became an independent nation in 1981, Belize has devoted itself to the conservation of its extensive natural resources. The country’s rugged interior has meant that, throughout its history of colonization, most human activity has focused on the coastal areas, leaving the inland mountains and forests relatively untouched by logging and agriculture. Today, 26 percent of Belize’s marine and land territory is under government protection, with a further 17.8 percent under private protection.
