The
Community Baboon Sanctuary, located on the banks of the Olde Belize
River, is located 30 miles west of Belize City off the Northern
Highway. Consisting of some 18 square miles of subsistence farms, the
sanctuary exhibits the spirit of coexistence that Belizeans have with
nature. Though a grassroots effort, the villagers and landowners have
committed to preserving the habitat necessary to ensure a healthy
population of Black Howler Monkeys - Baboons in Belize. See Belize Baboons (Howler Monkeys) in their Natural Habitat

A Visitor’s Center is located on the edge of the village, where guests are briefed and then guided through forest trails to watch the "Baboons" in their natural habitat.
