The work at the HCRC is made possible with the support of the Turtle Survival Alliance. Their mission is to “transform passion for turtles into effective conservation action through a global network of living collections and recovery programs.” TSA’s work spans the globe & we are grateful to be their partner in Belize.

We are grateful to the many amazing partners and supporters who  have helped with everything from funding to training to health assessments: Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo, Zoo New England, Oklahoma City Zoo, Missouri State University Turtle Ecology Lab, Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, Turtle Conservation Fund, Belize Aquaculture Limited, Disney Conservation Fund, PACT Belize, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic, South Carolina Aquarium , and the Belize Fisheries Department.
