Belize Audubon Society News - Group: Belize Audubon Society Members http://belizeaudubon.org/news/forum?group=2 Simple:Press Forum Version 3.1.2 admin on Welcome to the Teacher's Forum http://belizeaudubon.org/news/forum/teachers-forum/welcome-to-the-teachers-forum/page-1/post-2/#p2 Teacher\'s Forum http://belizeaudubon.org/news/forum/teachers-forum/welcome-to-the-teachers-forum/page-1/post-2/#p2 Education is at the heart of environmentally responsible development. At the Belize Audubon Society, we believe that environmental problems can only be effectively solved if there is a clear understanding of the environment and its processes. The Society currently works with all audiences, including children and adults, as we believe that while it is important to shape the mind set of our future generations, the current adult population should also be a key target of environmental education as they are impacting the environment now.

This forum was created so that educator's can exchange ideas, lesson plans, best practices and etc. related to environmental education.

The first issue addressed through its Environmental Advocacy Programme was the protection of Jabiru Stork. Today, the Environmental Advocacy Programme is consistently reasserting the mission of “creating a balance between people and environment” as Belize, similar to other natural resources-rich countries, is challenged with balancing economic growth and social benefits with conservation of its natural resources.
