The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) was launched yesterday at Falcon Field. Many local organizations and schools were in attendance. Part of the ceremony was the planting of trees around the park.
"Minister of State, Hon. Omar Figueroa, officially launched Belize’s first-ever National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) at the San Ignacio Falcon Field today in celebration of 25 years of Biodiversity. With the launch of this strategy, Belize articulates its firm commitment to secure the future of Belize’s biodiversity, which is our abundant variety of plants and animals."
PACT got some great pictures.
"The NBSAP outlines the country’s 20 national biodiversity targets which we have all been working to achieve as we committed to. For its part, PACT has and will continue to prioritize biodiversity and ecosystem protection for financing through its investment program.
Today’s event also included a 'green space' partnership between the Forest Department and the San Ignacio/Santa Elena Town Council for a tree-planting initiative, an exhibition on biodiversity management and benefits, and an art competition for students."
The GoB has a statement and pictures.
