A Black Howler Monkey Sanctuary in Belize
About Us
Established on February 23rd, 1985, the Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) is a sanctuary for black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) located on the northern coastal plain of Belize.
The Community Baboon Sanctuary is unlike any other protected area, wildlife sanctuary, or ecotourism activity in Belize. Its operations are fully integrated into the seven Belize River Valley communities that make it up, and it is deeply connected to the Kriol culture and history of the region.
