Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Photographer Colin Dodgson has a picture book out featuring pictures from all over Belize.  100% of profits from the sale of ‘Deeper Green’ will be donated to the World Land Trust to help protect and preserve endangered animal habitats around the world, acre by acre.  Can't wait to see this book.

More pictures from the book can be found in the W Magazine interview. And here in this gallery, and here, and here.

"‘Deeper Green’ is a collection of images made by photographer Colin Dodgson whilst traveling through Belize in December of 2018.  Working in collaboration with the World Land Trust on the occasion of their 30th anniversary, Dodgson and WLT ambassador Jonny Lu travelled to the Central American country to gain insight into the organisations working on the ground and on the front line of sustainability and conservation in the region.

Dodgson spent 10 days in the field with Programme for Belize and the Corozal Sustainable Futures Initiative shadowing the rangers and exploring everything from jungles, forests, desolate bumpy roads and rivers, to ancient ruins, isolated religious communities and modern ranger stations.

The book’s non-linear, experimental viewpoint provides a more personal insight into the country, its people, and the flora and fauna of this diverse ecosystem."

Video of the day.  A short documentary on the effort to save parrots from poaching.  Protect the Chiquibul, and the parrots within.  Thanks to Belize Bird Rescue, Programme for Belize, and all the other amazing NGO's that helped the effort! 

"In 2016, a team of conservationists, The Belize Bird Rescue, and Programme for Belize joined forces to protect endangered Yellow Headed parrots where they are being threatened by staggering numbers of poaching and habitat loss.  Working together, field researchers managed to pull 14 nestling parrots in dire threat of being poached, where they were raised in safety until they could be released in perfect health later that year."
