Video of the day. Sharon Matola, the founder of the Belize Zoo, gave a fun little speech about the zoo, its start, and many of the amazing animals in it. If you love the zoo, or want to know more about it, this video is a must watch. She even sings one of the songs she wrote for one of the more than 20 jaguars the zoo has saved.
"What would you do with animals left behind after a documentary project? Well, Sharon Matola started a zoo and in this talk, she tells us all about the journey. With her love for protecting our furry, feathered and scaly friends, Matola rekindles our love for these animal ambassadors. Sharon Matola is the Founding Director of The Belize Zoo and is passionate about directing her life so that the natural world benefits from her living and working profile. While this strong desire to protect wildlife has always been a part of her being, the finest and the most rewarding part of her life is sharing her work and passion with the people who visit The Belize Zoo.
She takes special time to create a fun and magical experience with the kids who visit. They never forget, their joy is overwhelming, and their bonding to the animals of their country is heartwarming and inspiring to me. She considers herself luckiest person in the world."
