Exciting News from Barranco Village!

On August 30, the National Garifuna Council proudly launched the Barranco Village Erosion Study, a vital project dedicated to tackling coastal erosion in one of Belize’s southernmost communities.

We are supporting this 2-year initiative with BZ $150,000 as it is a much-needed project that will contribute to Belize’s blue economy and sustainable conservation efforts.

Together with local and national partners, the project will address the urgent challenges of erosion while also valuing the voices of the community who know this land best.

Through collaboration and innovative approaches, we aim to gather actionable data that will inform effective interventions for Barranco and other coastal areas facing similar threats.

A huge ‘Congratulations’ to everyone involved in making this project a reality!
