Belize Audubon Society (BAS) was granted a 3 years project funded by the Protected Area Conservation Trust (PACT) in 2006. The project entitled
“Towards the sustainability of BAS managed Protected Areas” provides funding of activities in two(2) of the protected areas that BAS co-manages,
namely, Cockscomb BASIN Wildlife Sanctuary (CBWS) and Half Moon Caye Natural Monument (HMCNM). Between September 2008 to February 2009, Year 3 (1st disbursement) of the project will be implemented. For this period, the project will focus on activities such as fire management training for BAS staff and community members near CBWS; patrols with enforcement agencies within the boundaries of CBWS and HMCNM; monitoring and data collection at both protected areas; liaising with nation and regional stakeholders of these protected areas; and training for staff in hospitality and customer care service.
