Abstract
The paper outlines the plan for a sugar cane cogeneration plant to create an alternate energy source for the citizens of Belize. The paper explains how the sugar cane residue, bagasse, can be converted to electricity through cogeneration. The paper describes the company's goal to sell low-cost energy to Belize Electricity Limited, the sole electricity provider in Belize. The paper includes a diagram, maps and financial statements.

"One of the smallest countries in the world, Belize boasts agriculturally fertile lands. These lands are mainly used to grow sugar cane which is exported to the world. An untapped reservoir of energy is going unused from their sugar cane production. Sugar cane residue, called bagasse, can be converted to electricity through a process called cogeneration. Our team plans to build a cogeneration plant to generate electricity for the country of Belize using bagasse. This electricity will provide an environmentally safe and low cost alternative to all of the citizens of Belize while still allowing the sugar cane producers to export their product."

Abstract
Belize is the most thinly populated nation in Central America. Belize maintains a parliamentary democracy on the English model and is a member of the British Commonwealth. Currently, the Belize Government is controlled by the People's United Party (or PUP). The most prominent is Belize. The increased emphasis on tourism in Belize has not gone. Since the end of 1985, when most hostilities ended in Central America, some 15,000 more refugees have entered Belize, making Belize's refugee population the fifth largest in the world. Like a majority of Belize's Central American neighbors, the country depends heavily on agricultural exports.

" HISTORY OF BELIZE
This research paper encompasses and summarizes the salient features and history of Belize prior to its de facto takeover by the British in the late 18th century, how Belize became a British colony in mid-19th century and its experience under colonial rule, important political, economic and social developments and key individuals involved with Belize's internal and external independence since the 1960s, and an assessment of its prospects in the foreseeable future.

From the Mayan Empire to English Logging
Belize is one of the few countries of the world which had a larger population, about 400,000 at its peak during ancient times than at present, 229,000 in 1997 (Merrill 158; "Belize Introductory" 604). Since sometime between the First and Second.."

This study will examine the history of the nation of British Honduras (or Belize, as it has been known since 1973, eight years before winning independence). The study will include consideration of prevailing conditions in British Honduras before the arrival of the British and during British rule up to the time of independence.

As Dostert writes, the British from the beginning of their presence in Belize displayed the typical European arrogance in doing what they wanted to do and taking what they wanted to take with respect to the laws and resources of the small land on the Gulf of Honduras:
Originally settled about 1638 by bands of British woodcutters illegally harvesting the timber in Spanish domains, Belize settlers managed their own affairs and.."

Abstract
Two articles provide differing views on the issue of ecotourism. The first by Agness Kiss raises questions about the effectiveness of Community Based ecotourism, primarily from an economic and global standpoint. Jill Belsky provides a case study from Belize to further illustrate the same point. These two articles bring into question the effectiveness of ecotourism as a means of protecting habitat in the developing world.

From the Paper
Why Is Or Is Not Ecotourism the Answer For Conservation in Developing Countries? Both Jill Belsky and Agness Kiss raise questions about the viability, effectiveness and ethics of ecotourism as a means of conservation in developing countries. Neither author outright says it should not exist, but both raise important issues about the implementation of ecotourism and illuminate some hidden problems that seldom are discussed openly. While Kiss raises broad questions about ecotourism in general terms, Belsky focuses on a single case study involving the Village of Gales Point Manatee in the Central American nation of Belize.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Turks and Caicos Island nation boast the quiet solitude of hundreds of miles of undeveloped beaches, which promote a strong trade in eco-tourism, and an archaeological past, which dates back thousands of years. The author points out that the recently developed Holland America Line cruise center, which has changed the landscape of Grand Turk Island, similar to the situation in other Caribbean destinations, does not preserve the natural settings nor add sufficiently to the revenue of the nation to justify the disruption of the environment. The paper stresses that creating a system based on eco-friendly practices, including limiting embankments and increasing time spent in various locations, is essential to the tourist industry in this area. The paper includes several long quotations.

From the Paper
"Robertsen in a pioneering call for research on the subject of the social, economic and environmental impact of the fast growing cruise industry states that the Turk & Caicos islands were being threatened by the development of this center (in 2001 before it was cemented). The evidence associated with many cruise centers is difficult to judge based on the fact that there is limited reporting and only marginal amounts of scholarly research on the subject. In trade magazines, the issue is largely glossed over as a point of great growth and expansion, ..."
