A few miles inland from the Caribbean Sea is a tropical jungle paradise that is home to toucans, tapirs, armadillos, frogs, and five cat species, including jaguars.
But all is not well in paradise. The forests of north-eastern Belize are being lost faster than any other region in the country. These rich habitats are becoming more and more isolated, surviving only as forest islands surrounded by miles of agriculture, cutting wildlife off from wider habitats that provide food and mates.
Last year, thanks to our supporters, we were able to save more than 8,000 acres of forest habitat to create an important connection between existing protected reserve areas. This forest has now been purchased and the Jungle for Jaguars corridor is protected by our Belizean partner, the Corozal Sustainable Future Initiative (CSFI).
As a result of this success a new opportunity has been unlocked to save a further 1,818 acres of this jungle, and we need your help to protect it from deforestation. For every £100 donation, we can buy one acre, saving a home for wildlife and giving species room to roam.
(the link below to donate wasn't working properly yesterday, but it has been fixed now. Thank you to everyone who has already saved acres in Belize!)
