The Bladen Legacy team enters the Bladen Nature Reserve for their 2nd field season this Saturday, 10 May, but the advance team arrived in Belize on 2 May for preparations. The team helicopters into the reserve and camps there for one month without the ability to resupply. This means that all supplies must be accounted for ahead of time – including all fieldwork equipment and food supplies. Pictured above are a portion of these supplies, by the end of the week they will be added to a cargo net and dropped into the reserve.
The video below shows Dr. Keith Prufer attaching a cargo net of supplies to the helicopter after the 2024 field season.
