Video of the day.  You can learn a lot about the Harpy Eagle, and Bladen Nature Reserve, which borders the Chiquibul.


"'Wings of Hope,' is a film chronicling the re-discovery of a population of wild Harpy Eagles in the Maya Mountains of southern Belize.  It details the history of the Belize Foundation and Research and Environmental Education (BFREE) and UNCWilmington initiative born from this discovery – the Integrated Community-based Harpy Eagle and Avian Conservation Program.  Created by Emmy-award winning filmmakers, Richard and Carol Foster of Wildlife Film Productions, this 20-minute documentary is rich with breath-taking footage of adult and juvenile Harpy eagles and other wildlife and vistas found in the pristine tropical forests of the Bladen Nature Reserve.  Over the seven year duration of the project, the Fosters followed local people involved as they transition from trainees to conservationists and as their lives are changed through their efforts to save this rare bird and its diminishing habitat."
