Belize Conservation Program

This program provides an exciting opportunity to assist the Yaaxch Conservation Trust and work with Belizes indigenous communities to preserve the Maya Golden Landscape. Operating out of field research camps, students will work alongside Yaaxch rangers and scientists conducting long-term ecological monitoring and habitat restoration efforts.

Round River operates in the Maya Golden Landscape of southern Belize, an ancient socio-ecological system that harbors many of the regions iconic species such as jaguar and Harpy Eagle. Yaaxch co-manages three protected areas, including Bladen Nature Reserve, one of the wildest forest tracts in Mesoamerica, Maya Mountain North Forest Reserve, and Golden Stream Corridor Preserve.

Students will support Yaaxch with diverse conservation initiatives, from scientific research and monitoring to agroforestry production to environmental education in local Mayan communities.

Join us in Belize to significantly contribute to conservation efforts in improving jaguar/human conflict, sustainable agroforestry as a buffer zone near core protected areas, and taste authentic Mayan chocolate.
