Environmental Protection

The Environmental Protection Program fosters community management of the environment. SATIIM is coordinating a network of community forest rangers in both Belize and Guatemala who are creating a regional system of environmental data. The organization is also developing a model of community-led natural resource management planning. Given the primal importance of the environment to Maya and traditional cultures, it is the thread running all SATIIM’s programmes

SATIIM believes that environmental protection is a way of life and recognizes that the Maya have always recognized the importance of protecting the environment.
