Disaster Recovery Grants

1 videos • 0 views • by PACTBelize In November of 2022 PACT allocated $500,000 in Disaster Recovery Support Grants to aid in recovery efforts and address damage resulting from Hurricane Lisa. This was distributed to the Government of Belize as well as six key conservation and biodiversity management stakeholders: The Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association, The Belize Audubon Society, the University of Belize, the Community Baboon Sanctuary, Programme for Belize (Managers of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area), and The Belize Zoo & Tropical Education Center. While separate from PACT’s core Conservation Investment Programme, these grants underscored PACT’s collaborative spirit and enduring commitment to bolstering Belize’s socio-ecological systems and community well-being.
