“Fills a major gap in the bird identification literature . . . A must for birders planning a trip to this friendly patch of Central America.” —The Curious Naturalist With nearly six hundred identified species of birds—and an average of five “new” species discovered annually—Belize is becoming a birding hotspot for amateur and professional birders from around the globe. Thousands of birders visit the country each year to enjoy Belize’s amazing abundance and variety of both temperate and tropical birds in natural habitats that remain largely unspoiled. But until now, despite the growing need for an authoritative identification guide, birders have had to rely on regional field guides that offer only limited information on Belizean birds. Birds of Belize provides the first complete guide to the identification of all currently known species—574 in all. The birds are grouped by families, with an introduction to each family that highlights its uniquely identifying characteristics and behaviors. The species accounts include all the details necessary for field identification: scientific and common names, size, plumage features, thorough voice descriptions, habitat, distribution, and status in Belize. Full color, expertly drawn illustrations by noted bird artist Dana Gardner present male and female, juvenile and adult, and basic and alternate plumages to aid visual identification throughout the year, while 234 range maps show the birds’ distribution and seasonality in Belize. A comprehensive bibliography completes the volume. “A first-class book that will enable users to identify any bird they encounter in Belize.” —Victor Emanuel, President, Victor Emanuel Nature Tours

This paper discusses key issues of the Belize economy. The economic condition of Belize is characterized by sluggish growth and a weak fiscal stance, which have put public debt on an unsustainable path. Social and poverty challenges remain significant. The unemployment rate remains high compared with its 2008 level of 8 percent, despite a reduction to 12.1 percent in September 2014 from 14.2 percent in September 2013. Per capita GDP remains far below its regional peers. This paper also focuses on measures that would signal credible commitment to fiscal consolidation, strengthen the financial system, and boost economic, growth taking into account constraints on human and financial resources.

Belize, a tiny Central American country nestled between Guatemala and Mexico, boasts a rich blend of cultures, history, and wildlife. Once occupied by the ancient Mayans, Belize was later colonized by the British and gained independence in 1981. The country now boasts a diverse population, including the descendants of the Mayans, Afro-Caribbeans, Mestizos, and Garifunas, contributing to its diverse cultural offerings. The country's geography ranges from sandy beaches along the Caribbean coastline to dense, tropical jungles nestled in the heartland. Belize is also known for its spectacular barrier reef, which runs along the coast and offers a world-class diving experience.
