Great Maya Forest Belize Global Conservation Its rich ecosystems, ranging from riverine habitats to mountainous terrain and limestone cenotes, support high biodiversity. beyond its ecological significance, the forest holds cultural value, housing ancient mayan archaeological sites that date back over 3,000 years. From students and farmers to community brigades and local leaders, actions in belize demonstrate that caring for the forest and sustaining livelihoods strengthen one another when built from within communities. And it is why i proposed expanding my support of conservation efforts in belize, working alongside communities, civil society, and the government to reinforce belize’s position as a global leader in the protection of nature. Environmental groups have long advocated for greater protection of the maya forest. the nature conservancy has worked extensively in the region, promoting sustainable forest management that supports both conservation and local economic development.

In central belize, the maya forest corridor, a narrow section of forested land, is key for wildlife movements across belize, conservationists say. a land acquisition by the maya forest corridor trust in 2021 was a major step forward in protecting the corridor. Can the maya forest and mesoamerican reef continue providing food, water and resources to people without depleting its natural capital? our science says it can, through a new development paradigm that merges conservation, human wellbeing and economic prosperity. Belize maya forest trust local not for profit incorporated in december 2020 to be the trustee of the belize maya forest ngo status acquired in august 2021 mission: to demonstrate a globally recognized, locally relevant model of healthy, biodiverse forest protected for and by all belizeans. This untouched stretch of forest supports numerous threatened species and connects protected area refuges, ensuring the genetic viability of wildlife populations. but without urgent protection, agricultural expansion will isolate existing protected areas and threaten the region’s sensitive species.
