By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Belize has achieved a major environmental milestone with the completion of the Belize Maya Forest Corridor, strengthening the connection between protected lands and creating a more secure landscape for the country’s wildlife.
The achievement was celebrated on November 5, 2026, at The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center, which hosted conservation partners to recognize years of collaboration and dedication.
According to The Belize Zoo, more than 3,500 acres of land have been added to the Maya Forest Corridor, completing a critical connection between protected areas.
The initiative brings together the Belize Maya Forest Trust, the Government of Belize, rural communities, conservation organizations, private landowners and other partners who worked to make the project possible.
The completed corridor is significant because connected forests allow wildlife to move between habitats, supporting biodiversity and reducing the isolation of animal populations.
The Sharon Matola Wildlife Sanctuary, which encompasses more than 2,600 acres of protected land, also forms part of the corridor.
For Belize, the achievement represents an important step toward protecting the country’s natural heritage while maintaining healthy ecosystems for future generations.
The Belize Zoo emphasized that conservation success depends on collaboration among communities, government agencies, organizations and individuals working toward a shared vision.
