==Belize zoo==
Matola, the founder and driving force behind Belize's first zoo, arrived in that country after a colorful career that included a stint with a Romanian lion-tamer and a circus tour through Mexico.
Matola was hired by filmmaker Richard Foster in 1982 to care for 20 animals being used in the making of a wildlife documentary film. When shooting of the film was completed, she was left to decide how to dispose of the animals. Many of them were too tame for life in the wild, so the idea of an unusual zoo cropped up. Matola hung signs around the country to raise awareness about the wealth of Belizean wildlife and the country's deteriorating habitat; and she went outside Belize to raise money from environmental groups.〔Discovery Channel.

The zoo is now home to over 125 native species, and instructs people about Belize's wildlife.〔Maynard, Caitlin and Thane: "Rainforests and Reefs: A Kid's Eye View of the Tropics." Zoological Society of Cincinnati, Inc., 1996.〕
