At the heart of this movement are the women of Belize\u2014scientists, policy-makers, and community leaders\u2014who are shaping the future of the country\u2019s ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>From government agencies to grassroots organizations, women are leading the charge to protect and restore Belize\u2019s natural resources. A new generation of women conservationists is rising, breaking barriers across nonprofit sectors, public service, and the emerging blue economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The International Women in Conservation Summit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In celebration of these achievements, Belize is proud to host the\u00a0<strong>International Women in Conservation Summit<\/strong>\u2014an annual gathering launched in 2023 to spotlight and support the leadership of women in conservation worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s summit will take place in\u00a0<strong>Belize City<\/strong>,  bringing together a dynamic lineup of local and international women experts for keynote talks, panel discussions, and hands-on skill-building workshops. Open to people of all genders and ages, the summit is a space for learning, collaboration, and empowerment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summit Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All-women speaker lineup featuring renowned conservationists from Belize and around the globe<\/li>\n<li>Three practical, skills-focused workshops to build capacity and confidence<\/li>\n<li>Opportunities for networking, mentorship, and cross-sector collaboration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Join us in Belize City as we celebrate and elevate the voices of women who are protecting and restoring our planet\u2014together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHY IWIC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Representation in Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Globally<\/strong>, women make up about\u00a0<strong>30\u201335% of the environmental workforce<\/strong>\u00a0but are significantly underrepresented in\u00a0<strong>decision-making and leadership roles<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g., directors of NGOs, heads of departments, chief scientists).<\/li>\n<li>In many countries,\u00a0<strong>less than 20%<\/strong>\u00a0of leadership positions in environmental ministries or conservation agencies are held by women.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. Fieldwork Barriers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Women often face\u00a0<strong>cultural, safety, and logistical barriers<\/strong>\u00a0to participating in fieldwork, especially in remote areas.<\/li>\n<li>There are fewer opportunities for women to lead or participate in expeditions, which are crucial for career advancement in conservation science.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Pay and Funding Gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Studies show women in conservation and related sciences are\u00a0<strong>paid less<\/strong>\u00a0than their male counterparts.<\/li>\n<li>Women-led projects and organizations receive\u00a0<strong>less funding<\/strong>\u00a0and grants, especially in the Global South.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. Access to Education and Training<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In many regions, fewer women pursue advanced degrees in ecology, marine biology, or environmental science due to gender norms, limited support, or family obligations.<\/li>\n<li>Leadership training and mentorship programs are less accessible to women, particularly to Indigenous and rural women.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The event is November 20-21.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Day one will be a format of panels.<\/li>\n<li>Day two will be full schedule of panel discussions, a legacy leader keynote, a start up founder keynote, a blue and green marketplace, reception.<\/li>\n<li>Both days will feature restorative health activities too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Immediately\u00a0<\/strong>after registering<strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>you will receive a thank you email including our tax exempt status for your 2025 taxes.<\/li>\n<li>You will receive\u00a0<strong>monthly<\/strong> updates from the event organizers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-color-pink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zeffy.com\/en-US\/ticketing\/2025-international-women-in-conservation-summit\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Summit registration<\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey wpb_content_element  wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid bg-image-ps-inherit\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Source:<\/strong><br \/>\nPhoto \u00a9: <i>Sea of Life Caribbean Inc.v<\/i><br \/>\nCopyright \u00a9 2025 Zeffy.
