🎉 Congratulations to Our Newly Certified Wildlife Ambassadors! 🦜🐆🌿

The Cayo Tour Guide Association extends heartfelt congratulations to all of our members who successfully completed the Wildlife Ambassador Certification Workshop.

Over two days, participants strengthened their knowledge of Belize's incredible wildlife, conservation challenges, and the important role each of us plays in protecting our natural heritage. As professional tour guides, learning never stops, and opportunities like this help us provide visitors with richer, more responsible, and conservation-minded experiences.

We are proud of every member who invested their time and commitment to becoming better ambassadors for Belize's wildlife.

A sincere thank you to the Belize Wildlife & Referral Clinic for organizing this outstanding program and to all of the partner organizations that helped make the workshop a success. It was inspiring to learn alongside representatives from conservation organizations, educators, students, and other tourism professionals who all share the same passion for protecting Belize's biodiversity.

Together, we continue building a stronger tourism industry that values education, conservation, and responsible stewardship of the places and wildlife that make Belize so special.

Congratulations once again to all our newly certified Wildlife Ambassadors! We are proud to have you representing CTGA.

🌿 MOUNTAIN PINE RIDGE CLEAN UP-A SUCCESS! 🌿

On June 16th, 2026, the Cayo Tour Guide Association (CTGA), in collaboration with the Forestry Department, took to the Mountain Pine Ridge to clean and restore three of Belize's most treasured recreation areas: Big Rock Falls, Pinol Sands and Rio On Pools.

📊 The numbers speak for themselves:
👥 34 volunteers total (🟢 15 CTGA members)
🗑️ 63 bags of garbage & green waste collected

Protecting these spaces is a commitment to the tourism industry we represent and the future generations who will enjoy them. Every bag collected, every trail cleared is a step toward preserving what makes Belize so special. 💚

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our partners- Belize Forest Department, The Lodge at Chaa Creek, Bulridge Ltd., Gaïa Riverlodge, Mayan Expeditions, and D'Family Restaurant for your contributions, your crews, and your continued belief in this cause. None of this happens without you. 🙏

We are also grateful to have welcomed community volunteers from BTIA, Dreamers Run Club, former Miss Earth Belize, and the current Miss Earth Delegate! This is what community stewardship looks like. 🙌

To our CTGA Board Members who worked behind the scenes organizing, coordinating, and showing up to work alongside everyone else, your dedication does not go unnoticed. 🙏

To every single person who gave their time, energy, and tools, THANK YOU. This is what it means to protect Belize and protect what we love. 💚

This is just the beginning. Let's keep the momentum going! 💪
