At least 95% of all beneficiaries will be indigenous and at least 60% will be female.

This project aims to empower 65 indigenous youths of 5 Maya Golden Landscape, Belize watershed communities through training and mentorship in watershed monitoring and environmental advocacy. By building their skills and knowledge, the organization aims to ensure equal, gender-inclusive participation and representation of youths who can lead conservation efforts and secure sustainable, nature-based livelihood opportunities for future generations.

This project seeks to strengthen the local capacity of the youth population and the climate resilience of the community of Gales Point Village in Belize. This is a coastal area home to many species of endangered animals, which is also vulnerable to sea level rise and climate disasters like Hurricane Lisa in 2022. Project activities include : (1) expanding seagrass monitoring and mangrove restoration efforts to address biodiversity loss; (2) targeting households that utilize outdoor fire hearths to participate in a regenerative agroforestry project to aid in reforestation, carbon sequestration, and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities in Gales Point Village; (3) collecting data on endangered manatees in the sanctuary through a health assessment and satellite-tagging program to protect biodiversity; and (4) enhancing climate change education locally.
