Established in 1985 on the banks of the Belize River, this laudable community project protects one of the three main primate species found in Belize, the back howler monkey (known locally as “baboon”). Villagers have voluntarily set aside privately-owned tracts of forest to secure the monkeys’ habitat, and now their high numbers provide visitors with guaranteed sightings.
