ACES Cannot Thank the Summerlee Foundation Enough. The natural freshwater Morelet's ponds at ACES in Ladyville are spectacular. In addition, four containment pens are being constructed for the treatment of crocs that may need to be held in isolation because of  infectious diseases or injuries. We are so excited to be rescuing over 30 freshwater crocodiles on the 8th with the Belize Forest Department (BFD) and The Belize Vivarium. Thank you to everyone who made this possible including The Summerlee Foundation, The United States Humane Society, The Global Federation of Animal Shelters, BFD, The Belize Economic & Ecological Devlopment Fund and of course, Charlie of Caribbean Shrimp Farms, LTD for the use of his land!

A long time coming, the date is finally set, FOR SURE, for the rescue and relocation of about 30 freshwater Morelet's crocodiles, Crocodylus moreletii.

Thanks to the Summerlee Foundation who donate $8,000USD to both ACES and The Belize Vivarium to construct natural and safe containmnet facilites for the crocs in need. 

The mass crocodile conservation effort will be headed by the Belize Forest Department and will take place on Tuesday, November 8th, 2011.

The public is invited to be at The Caribbean Shrimp Farm in Ladyville to Welcome the rescued crocs to their new home. Anticipated time of arrival will be 2 pm. (Please note that the time of arrival may change due to unforseen capture and transport difficulties.)

ACES CSI ~ Crocodile Scientific Investigators ~ will soon take you on an adventure of a lifetime!

The Summerlee Foundation donates $8,000USD to ACES for the constrcution of a Morelet's habitat and the rescue of about 15 freshwater crocs in need. Constrcution will commence at Caribbean Shrimp Farm in Ladyville this coming week, and the actual croc rescue effort is scheduled for the last week of Oct. provided we stay on schedule.
