 | | The future of one of Central America's most important wildlife sites, Chalillo, in Belize, remains uncertain after the Privy Council, the final court of appeal for Commonwealth countries, failed to rule on plans by a Canada-based multinational energy company to construct a controversial dam in the area. |
 | | The tapirs (the Belize national animal) need the special vegetation that is found in the area, plants which grow in full sun and so have few toxins but plenty of nutrition. |
 | | Belize conservationists have support from Friends of the Earth in the United Kingdom, the WWF-UK, Canadian and American environmental organizations, leading scientists, and prominent people, including Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, and Bobby Kennedy, Jr. |
