Mission
Lamanai Field Research Center (LFRC) is a non-profit organization established in 1992 to promote sustainable utilization of Belize’s natural and cultural resources for the benefit of the Belizean people, through research in the Lamanai area, and through national education and ecotourism opportunities.
Lamanai
Lamanai is an ancient Maya center in Northern Belize that was continuously occupied for almost three millennia. The area has more than 700 Maya structures and the largest inland body of fresh water in Belize, the New River Lagoon. Lamanai’s wide variety of habitats in a small area promotes species diversity, as seen by its healthy populations of several endangered animals and nearly 400 species of birds.
