"The new crossing in Santa Elena border, Corozal and Subtiniente Lopez on the Mexican side has been opened to vehicular traffic as of today. Visiting the new facilities today show that both bridges are functioning but yet some restrictions. The new bridge which is about a quarter mile up river from the old bridge is opened to private vehicles only; the old bridge which is still functioning is opened to cargo trucks, motorcycles and pedestrians. Upon returning from Chetumal, private vehicles will utilize the old bridge to enter Belize. We understand the new bridge was opened this morning around 6 as a test run leading up to the inauguration at month's end. Mexican authorities describe the new border crossing as one of the most modern in Mexico."

If we can start with the children at a very young age, understanding the wildlife's rule and regulations and how important it is to leave the wildlife in freedom - then the children get that message and they get it through chess."
