Episode 2
Friday, 19 December, 2025
Belize is racing toward protecting 30% of its ocean by 2026—but what does that look like on the water? This latest investigation delves into the daily reality of marine rangers: 4 a.m. patrols, dangerous encounters, rescues of trapped wildlife, and long weeks away from their families. From drones and 360° camera towers to the expanding risks of transboundary fishing, the story reveals the pressure—and passion—behind safeguarding Belize's seas. The work of the country's rangers shows what it really takes to turn global commitments into everyday protection.To view photos, images and videos from this story, visit: https://climatespotlight.com/marine-protected-areas-are-everybodys-business/(01:02) Intro (03:13) 30% x 2026(05:32) The Story of the Blue Bond(09:13) The Work of a Ranger Part 1(14:51) The Work of a Ranger Part 2(20:17) New Challenges and Increased Risks at Sea(23:31) The Push for International Collaboration (26:11) Measuring Efficacy of MPA Strategy(29:19) Support So Far(33:02) Closing CreditsCreditsInvestigation by André HabetAdditional reporting by Marco Lopez.This story was published with support from Internews’ Earth Journalism Network.The opening theme song is by Alexander Evans, and the closing theme is by Michael Pacheco
