Not directly GIS related, but very much in the conservation field: an employment opportunity as the University of Belize's excellent Environmental Research Institute for the position of Marine Science Program Manager.

What they're looking for:

"The role requires a professional with an understanding of marine biology and ecosystem management, strong organizational abilities, and a commitment to capacity building."

May be of interest to someone, or someone you know!

Always good to see remote sensing work in action: CSFI updating mangrove mapping for the Shipstern Lagoon wetland system using imagery collected by drone.

Contribute your findings to the Belize Roadkill Project and help build a georeferenced dataset that will help with the conservation of Belize's wildlife. The roads are dangerous places: this is one way we can all help to make them safer. (As well as driving carefully, of course!)

An early preview of the results of the LiDAR mapping around the centre of ancient Sarteneja. Can't wait to see more!

Always cool to see LiDAR in use in Belize, and this time particularly close to home! A team from Michigan State University is currently in Sarteneja conducting archaeological surveys. Best of luck to them! There's so much of archaeological interest in the forests around the village, and this technology is a very useful addition to ground-based surveys.
