The Future of Calvin's Green Iguana Eco-Corner Sanctuary in PerilMr Calvin and Green Iguana Eco-Corner - one of the most visited spots in San Pedro - is being asked to move from the property they currently inhabit. Here is the problem: There is an issue with the land/mangroves that the park is located on - land that is owned by Belize Electricity Limited. Mr. Calvin is being asked to vacate and "relocate the iguana park". Like now.
Here's why I'm writing: I am 1. a huge fan of Calvin's park, his relentless work to make it what it is today, and the huge focus on kindness to animals and kindness in general 2. I think it is SO important to keep Belize…well…Belize. Keep things in San Pedro special and authentic as more and more corporate entities (and could-be-anywhere) development comes to the island and 3. Ask for help. Because I am not a lawyer or an activist-organizer and Calvin needs help with this. Note: No one is disputing BEL's ownership of the land - I am hoping that with all of your help, we as a community and as a country can figure out the proper solution.
