MoU’s with Wildlife Restoration Centers

On March 3rd, 2023, Belize joined the rest of the world to commemorate World Wildlife Day. This year, the day was celebrated under the theme “Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation,” which focuses on the need to work across governments, civil society, and the private sector to turn commitment into action. World Wildlife Day celebrates the world's wild animals and plants and the contribution that they make to our lives and the health of the planet.

In commemoration of World Wildlife Day and to mark the occasion, Honourable Orlando Habet, the Minister responsible for wildlife, formalized today our commitment with our partners by signing Memoranda of Understanding with nine wildlife rehabilitation centres operating in Belize.

These are, ACES Wildlife Rescue, Belize Bird Rescue, Belize Raptor Centre, Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic, Belize Zoo, Crocodile Research Collation, Eco-Iguana Corner Foundation, and Wildtracks.

We recognize and thank
