Integrating Conservation with Income Diversification Opportunities

Members of the Maya Centre Women’s Group are enhancing their skills and producing better quality products and offering improved services, thanks to capacity building and skills training offered by the Belize Audubon Society. The project is funded through the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA) Programme. One of the main objectives of the project is to improve the livelihoods of the residents of Maya Centre Village which is located near the entrance to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. News Five’s Hipolito Novelo found out how the project is going.
