Community Baboon Sanctuary

Bermudian Landing, Belize · built 1985

The Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) is a community-managed protected area in Belize that was established in 1985 to support the conservation of the Yucatán black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra), locally known as the "baboon". Spanning over 5,000 hectares along the Belize River, CBS is managed through a voluntary pledge system by landowners from seven villages in the Belize River Valley. In addition to wildlife protection, the sanctuary promotes sustainable land use, environmental education, and ecotourism as a means to strengthen local livelihoods.
