Belize’s lush forests are undergoing a transformative revival, driven by the UK’s Biodiverse Landscapes Fund (BLF). This international initiative is fostering a harmonious balance between conservation and community resilience, showcasing a model of sustainable development. Recently, a UK delegation, including representatives from the British High Commission and the UK Foreign Office, embarked on a three-day tour to witness the tangible impacts of this partnership. They explored key BLF-supported sites such as the Chiquibul and Vaca Forest, as well as local communities like Selena and La Gracia. These areas are at the forefront of biodiversity protection and community empowerment, led by the Wildlife Conservation Society and its partners. The BLF is funding a range of innovative projects, from training fire brigades and equipping communities with drones and water harvesting systems to promoting climate-smart agricultural practices. Additionally, the initiative is enhancing land rights for 50 communities and creating sustainable income opportunities for over two thousand women. This collaboration is not only safeguarding Belize’s rich biodiversity but also fostering economic and social resilience in local populations.
