Help protect a special place along the Belize River.

Land near the Community Baboon Sanctuary "A Black Howler Monkey Sanctuary"(CBS) is for sale. It is home to several troops of black howler monkeys, known locally as “baboons”, and many other wildlife species. CBS is concerned that a new owner could clear it for cattle ranching.

This place also holds special meaning for Community Conservation: it was one of Rob’s main research areas in the 1980s. For those who knew our founder Rob Horwich or visited Belize because of his work, this is an opportunity to help protect a place connected to his legacy.

The asking price is approximately $350,000. CBS would love to purchase the land but lacks the funds. They are seeking a conservation-minded buyer or donations that could help them organize a purchase.

Workshops, like the one featured here with our partners at Neotropical Primate Conservation are an opportunity to recognize and build on work already underway.

In Juningue, local associations are protecting forests and water and trying to expand their impact by sharing their experiences with other communities.

In Bagua Grande, community leaders, community associations, and local authorities are finding ways to coordinate effectively across a wider landscape.

Lasting conservation grows from local commitment and grows stronger when people have the tools and relationships to act together.

In the community of Juningue, near Moyobamba in the San Martín region of Peru, our Executive Director, Dr. Teri Allendorf, met with members of a local association of farmers and coffee growers who have secured a conservation concession. The members of Juningue invited leaders and members of a women’s association from nearby communities to share their conservation experiences.

The conversation connected experiences from Peru with community conservation efforts elsewhere in the world. For Teri, that exchange goes both ways: she brings stories from other communities to Peru, then carries what she learns in Peru to people working on similar challenges around the world. It is a reminder that local conservation leaders are part of something larger.
