Straddling the border of Belize and Guatemala, the El Pilar archaeological site yields its mysteries—mysteries that could help us create a sustainable future. The monuments tell the story of a complex Maya center that spanned 1,500 years. But the site reveals much more…ancient agricultural practices that preserved the forest and wildlife habitat yet supported a large population.
