Maya Forestry for Future Generations

Anabel Ford believes the ancient Maya have a lot to teach people today about the sustainable use of the forest. Working with a local group of indigenous forest gardeners, Ford, who was an Associate Laureate in the 2000 Rolex Awards, has helped construct a model garden at an elementary school in Santa Familia, a village in Belize 12 kilometres from El Pilar.
