Environmental Education at the Belize Zoo

Environmental Education at the Belize Zoo | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Great article about Ecotourism and the Belize Zoo.  The popular night tour is mentioned, and of course, Junior Buddy is in there.  Environmental education is talked about, as is the uniqueness of the Belize Zoo.

 

"Environmental education helps to provide awareness and knowledge of the threats that endanger biodiversity.  By utilizing such methods as ecotourism and environmental education, the ability to slow the rate of ecological destruction will happen as awareness increases.  The Belize Zoo is a center for environmental education and animal rescue that serves to help natives and foreigners understand and conserve natural resources...

 

The Belize Zoo is truly one of a kind.  Being able to learn about all of the native animals in the country was such a contrast to the American zoos, because of the different foreign animals that exist in those zoos in America.  I find it very important to learn about all animals, but especially to know about the animals that live in your own ecosystem. Knowing what native animals live in your ecosystem can help you to better protect areas around you."

Belize Zoo Night Tour

The Belize Zoo's Tropical Education Center is showcased, and highly recommended, in this article.  When staying at the TEC, which is right across the George Price Highway from the zoo, the zoo's night tour is an experience not to be missed.  The article also gives some good tips for the night tour.

 

In related news, the Belize Zoo is celebrating World Tapir day on Friday, the 26th of April.  Go see the new Tapir Town, and tell April the tapir happy birthday.

 

"Add the night tour at the Zoo to your travel and tour to do list.  Perfect for a friends getaway, romantic adventure or an inexpensive family vacation tour option."
