Senator Chanona warns of escalating threats to Belize’s Chiquibul conservation efforts due to lack of government support and new development pressures.
On December 16, 2025, Senator Janelle Chanona warned the Belize Senate that the Friends for Conservation and Development (FCD) faces growing obstacles in protecting the Chiquibul ecosystem, a critical watershed and biodiversity hotspot.
She cited blocked access, delayed permits, and lost donor funding due to lack of government support letters, threatening conservation efforts for species like the scarlet macaw.
With new development pressures, including a paved road to Caracol, Chanona called for a multi-stakeholder governance body and a sustainable development plan to ensure coordinated, inclusive management and safeguard the region’s ecological and economic future.
