Unknown Belize Docuseries<\/span><\/h1>\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section>

An nation brimming with biodiversity<\/h1>
The European Nature Trust is producing a new four-part documentary series in Belize. This philanthropically funded work will uncover the wonder of Belize\u2019s natural world, while exploring the political, economic and environmental challenges facing Central America\u2019s only English-speaking nation.

When it comes to environmental protection and sustainable development, the nation is providing a blueprint to the world. 80% of the nation remains undeveloped. Where only 17% of the world\u2019s land and 10% of our oceans are currently considered protected, Belize is leading the way; the nation has nearly fulfilled its commitment to the United Nation\u2019s recent agreement to protect 30% of the world\u2019s land and oceans by 2030. Belize is a true \u201cEden\u201d with over 500 bird species, 150 mammals, 150 amphibians and reptiles, over 550 fish and more than 3,400 plant species. Over 60% of Belize\u2019s landmass is currently wild and undeveloped. However, its natural resources are constantly at risk of exploitation from industrial farming, logging, mineral extraction, wildlife poaching, mining, unsustainable fishing and damage to the reef system.

An eden to protect<\/h1>
In Unknown Belize, we go in search of Belize\u2019s magnificent wildlife, from the elusive jaguar and agile spider monkey to the threatened scarlet macaw. We meet passionate conservation biologists and community members who strive daily to protect Belize\u2019s terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Viewers meet the conservationists working to protect critical forest regions like the Maya Forest Corridor and the Mountain Pine Ridge; learn from ecologists at Panthera, whose extensive research is monitoring the health of jaguar populations; venture into Mennonite territory; dive some of the world\u2019s richest coral reef ecosystems; and explore the nation\u2019s growing sustainable coffee and chocolate making industries.\n

We visit remote Mayan settlements and scale temples, explore hidden sinkholes and remote river systems, and hike the hidden caves of the Chiquibul Forest. We enjoy a variety of local cuisines, championing Belize\u2019s cultural heritage. This expansive series will create an intimate portrait of Belize, placing the nation in the international spotlight.
