The Friends for Conservation and Development got major props in the Prime Minister's Independence Day Address in Belmopan, and now they are making friends in that other capital of note, Washington DC. A release form the FCD says that they conducted a three day visit in Washington D.C from the 25th to 27th of September at the invitation of the US Department of the Interior. The visit was primarily for FCD's counterpart organization, Asociacion Balam, and the National Council on Protected Areas (CONAP) to describe the lessons learnt and success stories reached in their efforts to protect the Maya Biosphere Reserve and the Chiquibul-Maya Mountains Biosphere Reserve.
Meetings and presentations were made at the US Department of the Interior, US State Department, US Agency for International Development, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Inter-American Bank.
