The story behind the documentary

After the passing of Sharon Matola, the visionary founder of The Belize Zoo, a dedicated team of keepers and conservationists now carry her torch. Through resilience and passion, they work tirelessly to preserve their majestic Belizean wildlife and inspire the next generation to do the same—knowing that even in the face of challenges, the Zoo’s legacy must continue to shape the future of their nation’s conservation.
