National Audubon Society

Topics include: Climate Change; Conservation; Policy/Governance; Seabirds

Country/Region: Canada; Carribbean; Latin America; USA

Audubon protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Across aisles. Across landscapes. Across borders. When it comes to our environment, birds are a uniting force. Birds cross borders, from neighborhoods to states and beyond, migrating tens of thousands of miles across multiple countries from one tip of the planet to the other. And so do we. Audubon's hemispheric approach recognizes that the majority of bird species in the Americas migrate annually between Canada, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Audubon’s programs are like the birds—unencumbered by political boundaries and seamlessly integrated across the Western Hemisphere.

Country/Region: Belize

Green Reef is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of sustainable use and conservation of Belize's marine and coastal resources. For years, the citizens of San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye have been aware and concerned about the environmental problems facing the community and surrounding areas.

In June of 1996 this concern led to the founding of Green Reef. As a scientific research and educational organization, Green Reef aims to promote interest in wildlife and conservation of Belize's natural resources among students, teachers, dive guides, fishermen and the general public. Since it's inception, Green Reef has made great strides towards becoming a prominent conservation organization in Belize. Green Reef has become a key player in the conservation field at a time when many threats face the environment of Belize; it is Green Reef's goal to help maintain a balance that allows humans to enjoy this rich resource, while minimizing the impact.

Green Reef is optimistic that through our various programs, activities and the continued support and involvement of the community, we will succeed in meeting this objective.
