One of the most important understanding of our time is the realization that human and natural systems cannot be separated. By understanding both systems, appropriate management plan can be created to ensure the wellbeing of both systems. An interdisciplinary approach and public support are needed to achieve the goals of conservation science. Ecotourism is argued to be a good tool for conservation however, it is without its weaknesses, which are mainly caused by poor management and lack of public support. Case studies in Belize reveal a strong local support for conservation, however, tourism is not providing adequate funds for conservation. Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is on such case. The main question for this research is, is there low support for conservation efforts among international tourists in Belize or is this support undervalued by protected area managers. This study shows a high support for biodiversity conservation and high willingness to pay for entrance fees in Belize. The results show that visitors were willing to almost three times more to access the wildlife sanctuary. This study reveals that there is high support and willingness to pay among international visitors for conservation efforts in Belize, and that this support is undervalued by protected area managers.
