Runaway Creek Nature Preserve, located in Belize, offers far more than a safe haven for animals and diverse habitat types such as pine savanna, transitional forest and the karst. In the century before becoming a preserve, it offered shelter and protection to runaway slaves, hence the name "Runaway" Creek. After that it was slated to become a gravel mine. Thanks to the efforts of the Foundation for Wildlife Conservation under the direction of Dr. Gil Boese, the land was purchased and able to maintain its fertile soils, ancient caves, beauty, and wildlife.
