Our lodges are located off the National Electrical Grid system and therefore we have to provide for the generation of our own electrical demand. Both operate on 110 volts supplied by a three-way system. Our system uses a combination and a battery bank unit in conjunction with a small generator that is turned on for approximately three hours in the early morning and in the evenings for about four hours. Both lodges operate with 100% SOLAR ENERGY. We are proud of our alternative “green” power source and we encourage guests to conserve power when- ever possible. We also encourage all guests to bring water bottles to refill.

We remain committed to remain in har- mony with nature in a sustainable and bal- anced way. We encourage the use of fans instead of Air Conditioning. Our Dormitory Accommodation at both lodges offer state

of the art green facility which features sep- arate male and female shared bath units. Additionally, the facility features Clivus Multrum composting toilets which are self contained, waterless and odourless. In addi- tion, the shared baths also use natural light- ing where possible. We also practice rain- water collection systems and promote gray water storage and recycle systems.

We also encourage guests to be a part of an opportunity for positive action by promoting our Yellow-Headed Parrot Programme which includes extra protection of nesting sites and public awareness programs.

The RBCMA is home to a wide cross section of biodiversity possibly not found as con- centrated anywhere else in the country of Belize. The uniqueness of this area serves as a model for other protected areas.
