Explore Belize's environmental marvels and conservation heroes with Gelareh Derabi and Sean Kuylen.

If you don't know where Belize is, don't worry, you're not alone. This fascinating but little-known country is bordered to the north by Mexico, the west by Guatemala and the east by the Caribbean Sea.

For decades, the diverse people of this former British colony have been working quietly and determinedly to protect their unique natural treasures. As with all such endeavours, the modern world constantly presents challenges to this work.

In this series, we follow award-winning environmental journalist Gelareh Darabi and celebrity chef Sean Kuylen on their journey to meet the people at the vanguard of this incredible undertaking. We experience the places, animals and habitats they are fighting to protect.

At the culmination of these four fascinating hours of television, we will have a view of the intricate but fragile tapestry that makes up one of the world's most captivating countries. And, what's more, one which might just provide a blueprint for the world.

The series also features American film director, producer and screenwriter Francis Ford Cappola.
