  1. Research Project Contributions to Key Stakeholders as Defined within the Framework of Integrated Natural Resource Management have been implemented in response to our partners on the ground in Belize, including Programme for Belize, the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area and the communities on its periphery. Enhancing Productivity: Macro and Micro Nutrient Soil Analysis in Agricultural Fields on the Periphery of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Mary Ann Studer; Survey of Agricultural Practices of Indigenous Populations on the Periphery of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Mary Ann Studer; Assessing the Potential for the Development of a Non-Timber Rainforest Product Base through Soil Nutrient Analysis of Non-arable Regions – Robin Diers; Working to Promote Traditional Artisan Craft Development – Steve Smith; Feasibility Study for Solar Power Implementation in San Carlos – Mary Ann Studer Enhancing Human Well Being: A Survey of Intestinal Parasites in the Waters of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Eric Dix; Testing for the Presence and Concentration of Lead in Villages Bordering the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Diane Perkins; Survey of the Impact of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area on Periphery Populations – Jordan Plant; Preserving the Oral History of the Chicleros – David Hammersmith; Conducting an Educational Needs Assessment in Villages Bordering the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Alyssa Shuherk; Working to Promote Increased Literacy in Villages Bordering the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Alyssa Shuherk; Conducting a Societal Needs Assessment in Villages Bordering the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Valerie Munson; Preservation of Medicinal Plant Histories and Survey of Medicinal Plants in Belize – Kyle Shong; Survey of Intestinal Parasites and Bacteria in Village Water Sources within the Orange Walk District – Pamela Gibson; Assessing Potable Water Sources in Villages and Schools in Orange Walk District – Michael Rostocil; Survey of the Technology Needs in Village Schools in Orange Walk District – Robin Kratzer Enhancing Ecosystem Functions: Survey of Baseline Water Quality in the New River Lagoon and its Tributaries – Eric Schurter, Spiro Mavroidis, William Fix;Macro and Micro Nutrient Soil Analysis at Selectively Logged Sites within the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Mary Ann Studer; Pesticide Contamination in the New River Lagoon and its Tributaries – Jenna Kurtz; Testing for the Presence and Concentration of Lead in Soil in the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Diane Perkins; Survey of Medicinal Plants with the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Jenna Kurtz; Enhancing Local Understanding of the Plight of the Yellow-headed Parrot – Kaitlin Studer; Testing for Organic Matter in Carbon Sequestration Plots within the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Tiffany Baum; Biodiversity Evaluation through Land Use Plot Assessment in Orange Walk District, Belize – Kaitlin Studer; Determining Levels of Acid Rain through pH Surveys within the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area – Matthew King Integrated Natural Resource Management Problem Analysis Abstract: The McMaster School for Advancing Humanity, Defiance College has funded an ongoing project in and on the periphery of the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area, Orange Walk, Belize, CA. This initiative is a group of interdisciplinary projects that have evolved within the framework of Integrated Natural Resource Management modified from schema developed by International Agricultural Research Centers. Agro-ecosystems that lie on the periphery of the 260,000 acre Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area are driven by the interaction between ecological, economic, and social values as is the viability of the preserve itself. Since 2005 Defiance College faculty and undergraduate research projects have been implemented through innovative learning communities allowing the faculty / student integrated teams to build pathways to promote collaborative community based research that contributes to the preservation of natural capital and thus sustainable development.
