Sandy Kennedy was a pioneer in the field of landscape architecture and was one of the first women to break into this profession. She lived and worked in Los Angeles. Sandy was one of the top experts on the History of LA. “Revolutionizing” gardens of southern California was credited to Sandy Kennedy and she loved nature and dedicated her life to putting people in touch with the living world. The green areas of Los Angeles had her tireless support; she worked to see that they remained forever green. Sandy also head started a program which saw that homeless women and children in LA were cared for with shelter and food. Sandy loved the Belize Zoo. She and her partner, Linda Lack, were enthusiastic supporters of the Belize Zoo for many years. We are honored to name the Wildlife Art Gallery after Sandy.

The Belize Zoo extends a huge “Thank You” to all of you who assisted with the rejuvenation of The Gerald Durrell Visitors’ Centre. We are still working to raise funds necessary to see the successful completion of this important project.

The Belize Zoo and Foundation for Wildlife Conservation:
A Partnership in Conservation Strategies

Since 1986, The Milwaukee Zoological Society has been actively involved in Belize and has helped to enhance many conservation programs. The Community Baboon Sanctuary, Belize Zoo Outreach Environmental Education, the formation and successful development of Birds Without Borders, the Problem Jaguar Rehabilitation Program...and also, the purchase of Runaway Creek Nature Reserve, a 6,000 plus acre of tropical forest which guarantees a stronger forest corridor system in this part of the nation. All of the above is credited to having had happened thanks to the Foundation For Wildlife Conservation. You bet we want to be closely aligned with this progressive conservation organization!

The Foundation for Wildlife Conservation, (FWC) and the Belize Zoo will be working closer together than ever before. With our strengthened partnership, we look forward to expanding our work involving Jabiru Stork nest monitoring. Also, we are working to increase the awareness about these rare storks, aimed at the workers of the fish farm industry here in Belize.
