Great news about the University of Belize's Environmentsl Research Institute partnering with the Protected Areas Conservation Trust.

 

"PACT has partnered with ERI via a Medium-Sized Grant of $200,000 to assist in carrying out the project 'National Training Programme for Protected Areas Management in Belize.' The National Training Programme was developed by ERI as part of a larger project entitled 'Strengthening National Capacities for the Operationalization, Consolidation and Sustainability of Belize’s Protected Areas System' which is being implemented by the National Protected Areas Secretariat (NPAS) of the Ministry of Forestry, Fisheries, and Sustainable Development.  The main goal of the National Training Programme is to develop national capacity for protected areas management to enhance and sustain management of the National Protected Areas System. The Programme will also serve to institutionalize training and capacity building for protected areas managers in a holistic approach (first holistic training programme available to protected areas managers in Belize) instead of the piece-meal approach commonly utilized in Belize."
