The Institute of Archaeology is committed to the safeguarding, preservation, and promotion of Belize’s archaeological resources. Through promoting and advancing knowledge of Belize and our archaeological heritage, the Institute of Archaeology contributes to the national enjoyment and appreciation of the archaeological reserves and to the protection and preservation of all archaeological sites including all caves sites.
In achieving this objective, the Institute of Archaeology has park management as a central component of its responsibilities. The fundamental objective of the park management unit at the Institute of Archaeology is to oversee the management and preservation of the archaeological reserves. The park management unit is responsible for developing and implementing strategies ensuring that the archaeological reserves are maintained to the highest standards and that visitors have a safe and enjoyable experience.
