Programme
for Belize currently administers the Río Bravo Management
and Conservation Area in northern Belize, which includes a high
percentage of wetlands.
Its activities include protection and surveillance
in the protected zone, ecotourism, community education, sustainable
forest management, timber and non-timber products, carbon sequestration,
conservation of birds and archeology. This last is very important
since the area contains Mayan archeological sites, such as the
well-known La Milpa from the pre-classical Mayan period (440 BC
- 250 AD), which are under continual exploration.
Sixty more archeological sites have been discovered
in the area, and more are constantly being found.
