Sustainability: Preserving Belize

From the preservation of an intact 12,000 acre nature reserve to the implementation of daily practices that reduce the Lodge’s carbon footprint, Copal Tree Lodge is committed to conservation and local economic development.

• The majority of the food we serve in our restaurant is organically produced on our farm.

• We use sustainable, line-caught fish and seasonal seafood purchased directly from local day boat fishermen.

• We are helping to save Belize’s indigenous cuisine and the heirloom crops that define it by growing native crops on our 3,000-acre organic farm.

• We are building a global marketplace for Belizean made products through our chocolate, coffee and rum productions right here at Copal Tree Lodge

• We make furniture and building materials on site from our own wild fall or sustainably harvested wood.

• We plant thousands of trees each year as part of an extensive agroforestry program that also supports local wildlife.
