Saving tropical forests and preventing illegal logging and the poaching of wildlife requires a constant presence in the field. Developing alternative economic models around protected areas takes time and a lot of effort. In the end, everything we accomplish is thanks to a highly motivated and extremely dedicated staff.
Effective conservation comes with a price: saving and protecting the last seasonal forests of Belize costs USD 320’000 per year. If you also deem it essential to protect these endangered plants and animals, please support this project ! We are very proud to guarantee that every individual donation is fully and carefully invested in our protected areas, where it is urgently needed.

Supporting this important project is easy: you can either become a friend of Shipstern, or adopt a hectare of forest or a Belizean animal.
The adoption comes with a nice certificate, and, twice a year, we shall send you our newsletter “Shipstern News”, with the latest from the field.
Volunteer
If you are a dedicated volunteer wanting to help in the field, we would be very glad and thankful to welcome you at Shipstern! Unfortunately, due to constant and severe budget limitations, CSFI is not in a position to cover the costs incurred by the hosting of volunteers, and has to ask for a reasonable daily fee to cover food and lodging.
CSFI’s needs vary from foresters with good GIS experience, graphic designers, tourism experts, botanists, zoologists, water quality experts, etc. If you are a postgraduate, please contact us.
