Funds are going to benefit our education outreach program, inducing our Placencia-based wildlife youth program “Next Gen Croc” and outreach events throughout the country.  Next Gen Croc is a program to provide a strong foundation and mentorship to local  youth who are interested in pursuing science or conservation.  Our intention with  this program is to foster the next generation of Belizean environmental leaders.  CRC believes that education and outreach are the basis for conservation, especially for misunderstood species like crocodiles.  Currently, most of our outreach has been within the Stann Creek District. We are hoping to use the funds from this event to extend our outreach to both children and adults across Belize.
