The Chiquibul Forest Reserve along with the Chiquibul Park and the Caracol Archeological Reserve compose the Chiquibul Forest. It is in the south-western region of Belize covering over 423,000 acres of rich tropical forest. This area features some of Belize’s most impressive wonders such as the largest cave system in Central America, the Caracol Mayan Site, and a rich biodiversity of plants and wildlife.This vast forest block has been continuously exploited for its natural wealth of resources. Largely by illegal incursions from Guatemala along the western border, targeting the xaté palm, gold, and timber of the forest.
Poaching of wildlife for meat or the illegal wildlife, and habitat loss affects much of the iconic wildlife. Through catching massive amounts of rainfall and the winding Chiquibul River, the Chiquibul provides fresh water for over 40% of Belize’s population.
​ It provides life for Belizeans, and critical habitat for important biodiversity in our country, including the severely threatened scarlet macaw.
Fortunately, the Chiquibul is not without protection. For years, Friends for Conservation & Development (FCD) has worked to protect and preserve this invaluable forest. Through management of the Chiquibul's resources, bio-monitoring and study of the system's ecological treasures, and efforts to curb the illegal incursions into the heart of the jungle all serve to protect this vast natural wealth.
