Our partners
Belize Wildlife & Referral Clinic:
The Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic (BWRC) is a Belizean non-profit organization founded in 2011 with the help of a host of wildlife partners and friends. BWRC’s founder, Dr. Isabelle Paquet-Durand, had for many years provided free medical care to wildlife centers and in the field without a clinic facility and only basic medical equipment. That was before a very special and severely injured monkey named Spartacus provided the impetus to seek funding to establish BWRC. BWRC is now a modern, fully staffed veterinary clinic with x-ray and gas anesthesia; for both wildlife and domestic animals. As of 2018, BWRC has provided free veterinary care to over 2,000 animals. BWRC continues to grow in scope while remaining focused on its core mission.
Belize Raptor Center:
Belize Raptor Center’s goal is to increase knowledge of raptors and thereby lower human incident conflicts such as shooting, poaching, poisoning and habitat destruction. When needed, rehabilitation of injured and orphaned birds of prey will be conducted at the onsite facility with the goal of releasing them back into the wild. Birds of prey that are non-releasable and show a willingness to be an ambassador for their species will be given permanent sanctuary at Belize Raptor Center and considered for use in educational outreach. Belize Raptor Center provides free interactive presentations to local schools; students will have a once in a lifetime meet and greet with our avian ambassadors, while we teach them what makes a raptor and the services they provide for us.
The Belize Zoo:
The Belize Zoo was started in 1983 by Sharon Matola, as a last-ditch effort to provide a home for a collection of wild animals which had been used in making documentary films about tropical forests. Shortly after the backyard "zoo" began, it was quickly realized that its Belizean visitors were unfamiliar with the different species of wildlife which shared their country. This very aspect fomented the commitment to develop the little zoo into a dynamic wildlife education center. Today, The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center exhibits over 200 animals, representing over 45 native species. The Zoo keeps animals that were orphaned, rescued, born at the zoo, rehabilitated animals, or sent to The Belize Zoo as donations from other zoological institutions.
