Humans face a series of challenges tied to anthropogenic climate change ranging from rising temperature, rising sea levels, drought, flooding, loss of soil, increased impact and degradation of cultivated lands, food insecurity, increasing rural to urban migration, with rural and urban unemployment. The challenges and their solutions for much of Belize are overlapping. Increasing rural employment, repairing degraded land, increasing soil fertility, creating models of land use that replicate ecosystem functions of primary habitat, namely soil and soil moisture retention, creation of habitat and carbon drawdown, is possible through education and outreach.
