Birds are a vital element of the global ecology, and as stewards of this earth, we must now ensure them a place to sew their seeds. Over 528 species of avi-fauna are known in Belize, but Belize lacks a facility that is dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of avian wildlife.
The habitat restoration area is a critical aspect of the CASA initiative as it provides opportunities for foraging and nesting, and a haven for birds that may be released from the CASA facility following rehabilitation. Share in this effort, by sending your donations and/or becoming a member as we continue the development of the rehabilitation and release facility, plant trees in the habitat restoration area, and greet the return of the avian wildlife to CASA.
Your donations and support are essential to the continuing restoration efforts and the rehabilitation and release of injured birds.
