The Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary was created to protect the non-migratory and migratory birds. It is located 50 km. north-west of Belize city, outside the Northern Highway, in the Belize District. It is formed by a thick net of internal lagoons, marshes and navigable channels. The sanctuary supplies abundant food resources: it is a sheltering area for the numerous and variegated types of birds. One of the most important migratory bird, the Jabiru Stork is living in the Sanctuary. It is the biggest bird of North America, with its wings 3-4 m. wide.
Fortunately, Belize is giving shelter to the most numerous patterns of Jabirus of Central America.
In the eastern part of the sanctuary, Black Creek is sheltering not only birds, but also Black Howler Monkeys, Morelet’s crocodiles and different types of turtles and iguanas.
