- Abstract
The article describes some of the findings of the British-funded Darwin Initiative project which assists the Belizean government to conserve and manage its populations of Chamaedorea palms. Chamaedorea is the largest palm genus in the Neotropics, comprising of 80-100 species. The genus locally known as xaté is of regional and international importance due to its trade as a houseplant and as a source of foliage for flower arrangements. The conservation status and presence of Chamaedorea in Belize's forest reserves are also cited.
