Hope for Belize’s Hicatee Trailer

BFREE has teamed up with the Turtle Survival Alliance and Carol and Richard Foster to make everyone more aware of the need to protect the few HIcatee turtles that are left.  The documentary will be out on October 2nd.  

 

"This trailer shares a brief introduction to the film, ‘Hope for Belize’s Hicatee: Central American River Turtle’ a 16-minute natural history film that will be released ‪on October 2, 2017‬. The Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) along with Belize Foundation for Research & Environmental Education (BFREE) and Emmy-award winning filmmakers, Richard and Carol Foster, have teamed up to create this film. ‘Hope for Belize’s Hicatee: Central American River Turtle,’ features a critically endangered turtle species being intensely harvested for its meat. The film highlights the cultural significance of the hicatee in Belize, the environmental pressures propelling it toward extinction as well as the current work being done in Belize to save the species. The hicatee is disappearing, but together we can save it."
