For 2023 we (Nicholas Hellmuth, FLAAR (USA) and FLAAR Mesoamerica) will be continuing our 5-year (2021-2025) project of flora-fauna-biodiverse-ecosystem field work in the Peten rain forest area of Guatemala in cooperation and coordination with CONAP. We are also researching iconography of celestial motifs in Sky Bands in Classic Maya art, plus studying the iconography of the Loincloth Apron Face on clothing of Maya kings. Universities, museums, Maya societies, and conservation organizations are asking for lectures both in-person and via ZOOM so we have an entire team preparing lectures on jaguars in the art of the Maya, Cacaxtla and Teotihuacan; patolli game boards; iconography and ethnobotany of 4-petalled flowers in Late Classic Maya vases, bowls and plates, and other topics. We also lecture on marine animals in ancient art of Mesoamerica, wild plants of the rain forests that were used as food over a thousand years ago, and biodiversity of the Reserva de la Biosfera Maya and biodiversity of the eastern half of Izabal, Guatemala (Rio Dulce, El Golfete, Amatique Bay).
