A great many animal lovers and conservationists were saddened this week to learn of the passing of Founder and Director of the Belize Zoo, Sharon Matola, 66. Matola died at St. Luke’s Hospital in Belmopan on Sunday.
She turned their holding pens into a makeshift zoo and that was how the Belize Zoo was established. Eight years later, in 1991, Matola managed to secure donations from local and foreign groups and individuals and she transformed the makeshift zoo into a more permanent facility and re-dedicated it with the name The Belize Zoo.
