Not far from Belize City is the Community Baboon Sanctuary in Bermudian Landing Village. This sanctuary was founded in 1985 by local farmers to protect the howler monkey population that was being hunted to near extinction at the time. It is now home to over a thousand howler monkeys and several species of birds and other wildlife.
