In Cockscomb we also enjoyed three guest speakers. Ernesto, who was the park warden for many years spoke to our group and was able to give us the history of the park and how it has impacted and benefited the local communities. Aurora, his wife also spoke to us about her life, Mayan art and culture as well as how local artisan women have benefited from tourism created by the park. We also heard a presentation by Bart, a jaguar researcher in the park. We took this group photo at the entrance of Cockscomb, close to where Bart has one of his many motion and heat sensor cameras set up to track the jaguars.
