The Coalition to Save Our National Heritage was created three years ago with the sole purpose of blocking oil drilling in protected areas. They've made national headlines many times since then, and even made history when they had their own home grown referendum and when they got to Supreme Court to declare PSA's null and void. Now, the Coalition is re-branding with a new logo. We found out more at the launch today:…
Tanya Williams - Thompson - Director - Belize Coalition To Save Our Natural Heritage
"Over three years ago at this very place - many pebbles came together to form the Belize Coalition to Save Our Natural Heritage and to change the course of how we would do oil in this country. Last year we became a non-governmental organization, something unexpected because as you know the coalition started from a very loose group of organizations but we have eventually grown and we see that there is so much to be done. This is an opportunity for us to ensure that the public understands who we are and what is it that we do and what is it that we want out of. I'm sure there's a plan petroleum industry so it was a right opportunity for us to re-brand ourselves and change the logo. The logo is an oil drop and it signifies the work that we do both on the offshore and on shore when it comes to oil exploration. Of course our position is that there shouldn't be oil exploration in our off shore or on our protected areas. It also serves to indicate to the public that we are trying to protect livelihood as well as heritage in the work that we do."
The new logo was selected from a field of 30 competitors and Belmopan resident John Ical won. He received $300 dollars and public awareness products from the Coalition.
