By Zoila Palma: Last week, the Corozal Sustainable Future Initiative Enforcement Team discovered signs of illegal logging during a routine patrol in the North Eastern Biological Corridor (NEBC).
The North-Eastern Biological Corridor is an almost 67,000-acre protected area in the Corozal District.
According to the environmental group, the team found freshly cut trees, logs prepared for removal, and an unauthorized access trail leading into the protected area.
The team also found a tractor and chainsaw believed to have been used.
The team confiscated the tractor and chainsaw and documented the evidence for investigation purposes.
“Illegal logging doesn’t just remove trees; it destroys wildlife habitat, fragments forests, and impacts the natural resources that future generations depend on,” Corozal Sustainable Future Initiative said.
The operation was conducted in collaboration with the Belize Forest Department to protect Belize’s protected areas and ensure that our forests remain healthy and thriving.
