A growing body of information on Belize is
available on the internet.  The links on this
page are websites and information pages
which we have found most useful and
relevant to our work.

Belize is the only English speaking country on the
mainland of Central America. As if that is not
unique enough, Belize combines several
indigenous and immigrant cultures and ethnic
groups into an exciting variety of languages, food
and music.

Its geography varies from the thousands of coral
islands along the Belize Barrier Reef, which is
second in size only to Australia's Great Barrier
Reef, to the unspoiled rainforests of the southern
and western districts, to the plains of the northern
districts and the mangrove wetlands of the
coastline.

Many Mayan ruins dot the entire country, attesting
to the integral role of Belize in the Great Maya
Civilizations of Mezo-America.

Belize has made the preservation of its pristine
environment an essential aspect of its development
policy and the country is reputed to have the
largest percentage of its land and sea area
designated as protected areas.
