Conservation Through Education

We are a registered a Non Profit Organization seeking to conserve and protect the land, forest, rivers, and people of Belize's rural South. We are located near the Lubaantun Archeological Site between the Kekchi Maya villages of San Miguel and San Pedro Columbia, on the Columbia River.  Our group seeks to protect the treasures of Toledo, land and people, from irresponsible development, poverty, and the negative effects of globalization through educational programs and experiments in sustainable agriculture.  We  need volunteers and sponsors!

 Summer Camp 2015
This year's summer camp was funded in part by PACT (Protected Areas Conservation Trust) and focused on conserving eco systems and indigenous cultures. Children of Barranco and San Pedro Columbia village studied cultural practices of the Kekchi and the Garifuna, including drumming, harp playing, and cooking classes. We examined environmental problems and solutions using art and drama. To see video footage of previous summer programs, see the Projects tab above.
