The sanctuary (tel. 501/220-2181, www.howlermonkeys.org) is the result of the unique efforts of 220 members in nine local communities who have voluntarily agreed to manage their land in ways that will preserve their beloved baboon (the local term for the black howler monkey). Because of community-based efforts to preserve the creature, there are now 4,000 individuals waiting to be spotted and photographed by curious travelers. CBS feels remote, but in reality, it is only 26 miles from Belize City and 13 miles from the international airport, making it both a popular day trip and a common destination for tent-schlepping backpackers who’d rather wake up to the throaty roars of the Belizean baboon than the smelly bustle of Belize City.
