Discover the Maya Forest Corridor (MFC) in central Belize—a diverse tapestry of habitats including secondary forests, protected areas, farms, and more. Spanning 373 km², it links the Selva Maya, one of Mesoamerica's largest unbroken habitats across Belize, #Mexico, and #Guatemala. This crucial corridor connects northern Belize's forests to the Maya Mountain Massif in the south. Home to a rich array of biodiversity—from jaguars to migratory birds, Baird’s tapirs to Morelet’s crocodiles—the MFC's forests, savannahs, and waterways sustain countless species. Preserving this area is vital for ecological balance and resilience against climate change. Our coalition partners focus on conservation efforts, ensuring this lifeline for wildlife thrives for future generations in the Mesoamerican region.
