Over the last two days conservation and enforcement stakeholders from Belize and Guatemala have been participating in a workshop aimed at providing better support the preservation of the Chiquibul area. 

The workshop was broken down into two sections. On the first day the partners discussed methods to crack down on and prevent illegal wildlife trafficking, particularly when it comes to scarlet macaws. 

And on the second day, parties from both sides of the border agreed to increased collaboration regarding the conservation management of the Chiquibul Forest,.  To further bolster the joint effort, existing strategies will be reviewed at an OAS workshop in March.
