Doors to the Future A local conservation effort currently being offered as an alternative to the destructive logging of the rainforest. A limited number of selected hardwood trees would be cut and milled where they are cut. The boards would be carried by donkeys to the villages where Mayan woodworkers would build doors and furniture for sale in Belize and beyond.

Logging of rainforest hardwoods is taking its toll on the jungle's delicate ecosystem. Your support of the TEA helps preserve and protect this ancestral home of the Mayan people.

Sustainable Agriculture Finding and practicing alternatives to slash and burn. TEA Indigenous Museums Local museums to preserve the cultures of indigenous peoples.

Slash and burn agriculture on the steep mountain slopes.
