CAROL + RICHARD
FOSTER
For over three decades, the name “Foster” has been synonymous with the breath-taking imagery of Belize’s wild heart. WILD501 is more than an exhibition; it is a living archive, a dedicated project focused on the cataloguing, digitization, and preservation of the vast cinematic history created by Carol and Richard Foster.
This collection honours two iconic figures who didn’t just film Belize; they made it their home, and their life’s mission.
Carol and Richard Foster are celebrated globally as award-winning wildlife filmmakers and tireless conservationists. Their lens didn’t just capture animals; it told the “hidden stories” of an ecosystem.
Global Impact: Their work has been the window through which the world viewed Belize, featured prominently on prestigious platforms like the BBC and National Geographic.
A Living Legacy: Beyond the screen, the Fosters were the foundational catalysts for the creation of The Belize Zoo, ensuring that the animals they documented would have a voice and a sanctuary for generations to come.
The Spirit of WILD501
WILD501 stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of grit, tenacity, and curiosity. Since the untimely passing of Richard in 2018, Carol Foster has carried their shared torch forward with unwavering resolve.Today, her mission is focused on the “now,” creating short films that capture Belize’s wildlife.
