Belize has a new protected area: the Sharon Matola Wildlife Sanctuary.  The 2600 acres were officially declared a protected area on June 3rd.  Great to see more land in the corridor being protected.

"This protected area, which will encompass more than 2,600 acres of land around TBZTEC, was officially declared during the June 3rd sitting of the House of Representatives, and further endorsed by Government of Belize officials during a celebration at the Zoo later that day.
