FCD Presented on Chiquibul to PM | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Rafael Manzanero, Executive Director of Friends for Conservation and Development, and the FCD crew, gave a presentation on the Chiquibul Forest Reserve to the PM last week.  The Chiquibul is one of Belize's greatest areas for flora and fauna diversity, and a large part of the country's water supply originates there, over 4 billion gallons a year.  Save the Chiquibul!

 

"FCD had the opportunity to present their work to the Prime Minister, Dean Barrow on the 11th of September regarding the protection of the Chiquibul Forest.  FCD’s Director explained the challenges faced to secure the protected area.  The reunion was extremely productive and encouraging and the Prime Minister recognized the important work carried out by FCD."
