PACT's purpose is three fold:

1. Provide financial assistance for activities on the protected areas that foster conservation, sustainable development and management of the area.
   
    
    
2. Raise funds and receive gifts and donations from Belizeans and foreign individuals, corporations and foundations as well as from bilateral and multilateral organizations, earmarked for activities that help to achieve the mission, goal and purpose of PACT.
   
    
    
3. Establish and maintain the institutional arrangements, operational procedures and public awareness programs required for effective and efficient management to carry out the mission of the Trust.
