Belize: Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw

16 February Belmopan, Belize (BelizeBlog.com) Bruce Barcott's Belize-based book, Last Flight of The Scarlet Macaw, takes an unabashed look at the only English-speaking country in Belize and its corrupt government and destructive policies that run counter to its official posture as an eco-friendly tourism destination. Unregulated development that runs counter to conservation efforts are detailed in this book reviewed by the San Franciso Chronicle.

In it, the author reviews how development takes priority over the needs and greed of developers in their quest to develop the country while circumventing conservation efforts that continue to deciminate native species of Belize wildlife such as the Scarlet Macaw.
