The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center

The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center has become a world-renowned wildlife education center where visitors connect with Belize’s unique natural heritage: the animals.

The Belize Zoo is the oldest wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, and education facility in Belize. In keeping with its origins, the animals here are rescued, confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade by law enforcement, or transferred from other rehab and zoological facilities. The habitats designed for the animals reflect natural settings, and provide an immersive educational experience for visitors.

The Holtzman Wildlife Foundation provided a grant to the Zoo for veterinary equipment.
