BFREE and the Hicatee Awareness Month in Belize

It takes as much as 16 years before the Hicatee turtle is old enough to reproduce. The Hicatee is listed in the top 10 most endangered turtles in the world by the IUCN, and it is classified as critically endangered. Allowing them to live long enough to continue the lineage is critical for the survival of the species. We want them to continue to be a part of our culture now and in the future.

Finding Inspiration In Your Natural Heritage

While many people talk about their cultural heritage, it's rare to hear someone mention their natural heritage. But, we here at Heritage Education Network Belize want to change that! Not only are the two important for a sustainable future, they are intertwined in so many ways.
