While we didn't have much damage as a result of Hurricane Richard, the area around the Belize Zoo was hit quite hard, and the Zoo suffered extensive damage. The Zoo is closed for at least this month as they clean up, repair, and rebuild. And, of course, they need funds to do this because the rehabilitating will cost a lot of money, and they won't have any income during the time the Zoo is closed. If you would like to help, go to the Belize Zoo's website and click on the Hurricane Relief Funds donation button on the right side of the page.
The Belize community is pitching in with donations, volunteering time and equipment to help with the cleanup, and auction items for a few benefit auctions which will be held this month. But you can help no matter where you are!

Visiting the zoo the last time we came down was one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks for letting me know how to help them!

Thanks for the heads up on the zoo. I sent them a donation last night and told them that I found out through your blog. We had a great time at the zoo when we went with Vitalino Reyes a couple of years ago. Simply a great place.
Thanks for supporting them through your blog!
