Earth for Us to Protect
Our Conservation Work
Belize Conservation Group (BCG) works in partnership with Coastal Manatee Conservation Group in a concept we refer to as Conservation Development in the only English speaking country in Central America. Funding goes directly to developing communities, people and livelihoods and to protecting Belize's rich biodiversity. Success to us means turning hunters, illegal loggers and poachers into ambassadors of Belize.
