Our Work

Honoring Conservation Commitments

Under the Blue Loan Agreement various conservation commitments were made by the Government of Belize that would be implemented via support from funding generated from the Agreement. Each year at least 40% or $3.2 million Belize dollars will be invested in support of government programs to meet these conservation commitments. This is referred to as Government Strategic Allocation or GSA.
