À The Belize Collection, nous nous engageons à protéger la faune incroyable du Belize. « Récits des sentiers » est un projet de surveillance de la faune qui utilise un réseau de caméras de sentier installées sur le terrain de The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant pour suivre et étudier les félins sauvages et d’autres espèces animales insaisissables. En observant ces animaux dans leurs habitats naturels, nous pouvons acquérir une compréhension plus approfondie de leurs comportements, de leurs déplacements et de leurs interactions avec l’écosystème. Ce projet est mené en collaboration avec Belize Wild Cats.
Le projet est conçu pour recueillir des données non invasives et en temps réel sur la présence, le comportement et les déplacements de la faune. Ces informations sont inestimables pour surveiller les populations, étudier les modèles écologiques, détecter les menaces potentielles et mesurer l’efficacité des efforts de conservation.
Le suivi de la faune va au-delà des observations par caméra. En étudiant les empreintes, les excréments, les marques et d’autres signes, nous pouvons découvrir comment les animaux se déplacent, chassent et établissent leurs territoires. Ces données de suivi complètent les informations des caméras de sentier, créant une base de données complète sur la faune de la région. Ensemble, ces informations renforcent notre capacité à protéger les habitats essentiels, à surveiller la biodiversité et à assurer la santé de nos écosystèmes.
Lorsque vous explorez les terrains de The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, il est important d’interagir avec la faune en toute sécurité et avec respect. Le tableau ci-dessous fournit un guide simple des choses à faire et à ne pas faire à consulter chaque fois que vous rencontrez des animaux sur la propriété.
| À faire | À ne pas faire |
|---|---|
| Observer la faune à une distance sûre. | Approcher, chasser ou essayer de toucher les animaux. |
| Rester silencieux et minimiser les mouvements brusques. | Faire des bruits forts ou effrayer les animaux. |
| Prendre des photos sans utiliser de flash. | Utiliser un flash qui peut effrayer ou blesser les animaux. |
| Respecter les habitats naturels et rester sur les sentiers désignés. | Déranger les nids, les tanières ou les aires d’alimentation. |
| Garder votre nourriture et vos déchets en sécurité. | Nourrir la faune ou laisser de la nourriture derrière vous. |
| Suivre les directives fournies par le garde forestier/le personnel au sol. | Ignorer les panneaux, les règles ou les instructions des gardes forestiers/du personnel au sol. |
| Apprécier les animaux dans leur comportement naturel. | Tenter de provoquer, d’attirer ou de manipuler la faune. |
| Signaler la faune blessée ou en voie de disparition aux autorités. | Essayer de secourir ou de capturer des animaux sauvages par vous-même. |

Qawa Ki’ché is Qʼeqchiʼ Maya and translates to God of the Jungle. This is the artists’ attempt at capturing and preserving the spirit of the iconic Sleeping Giant that The Rainforest Lodge is known for. The Maya giant is a nod to the Maya Mountains the lodge is nestled in and its surrounding communities. Ancient, revered, and adorned in jewelry, he sleeps peacefully in the jungle he created and protects.
Sculpted with a chainsaw, this piece is dedicated to womanhood and freedom. Las Tres Marias consists of 3 women sculpted out of purple heart wood. Each represents a phase of womanhood. The symbol of freedom forms part of two of the sculptures in the form of Pajaritos Que Vuelan which translates to Birds Who Fly. Ultimately, this piece may be interpreted as an individual woman achieving independence or the feminist movement acting as a catalyst for all women.
Ah Puka’An Garrobo directly translates iguana below the ground. The largest installation from the 2023 Artist in Residence program, this piece represents the spikes on the iguana’s back. Inspiration was also drawn from imagery in the poetic and beloved story The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
