By Zoila Palma: The Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT) has announced a BZ$7.75 million investment to support conservation efforts across Belize. Distributed over the next three years, the funding will aid 15 co-management agencies working in 28 protected areas under the Conservation Investment Strategy (CIS) 2.0.
This funding is part of a broader BZ$12 million initiative aimed at improving ecosystem protection, strengthening management capacity, boosting financial sustainability, and increasing community involvement.
The program also focuses on climate adaptation and resilience within Belize’s National Protected Areas System.
At the launch, Minister of Sustainable Development Orlando Habet praised the role of local organizations, while Prime Minister John Briceño emphasized conservation as essential to national well-being.
PACT’s CIS program, launched in 2018, continues to drive strategic, long-term support for Belize’s natural heritage and communities.
