AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Belize River fish kill: The Ministry of Sustainable Development says it still hasn’t found a definitive source, even as environmental groups point to drainage canals and farm runoff after flooding as likely contributors. Anti-litter enforcement: The Department of the Environment appointed 9 authorized officers in Placencia to ticket littering, as part of a national push to cut visible litter by 30% in two years. Hurricane readiness: Belize secured up to US$20 million in parametric hurricane protection via an IDB catastrophe swap with Swiss Re, plus a separate US$27.1M CDB-backed weather and early-warning project to speed up alerts. Climate-smart farming: Farmers in the Belize River Valley received training in climate-smart corn and peanut production, including soil and moisture management and pest control. Freshwater conservation: Government and the Nature Conservancy signed an MOU to strengthen protection of Belize’s rivers and freshwater resources. Wildlife safety: The Forest Department urged people to stop feeding crocodiles after dangerous close encounters. Tourism and environment: The Belize Tourism Board held a stakeholder forum on sustaining Belize’s tourism product, while WWF flagged drainage canals as a major factor in Placencia Lagoon impacts. Archaeology protection: NICH/Institute of Archaeology asked the public to help identify who destroyed Complex D at El Pozito, after intensified monitoring tied to nearby land clearing.
