Bermudian Landing Community Baboon Sanctuary was established to protect the local population of Black Howler Monkeys in the Belizean Rainforest through community participation in appropriate land management. Community Baboon Sanctuary reserve is also home to 200 bird species, with iguanas, peccaries and coatis among other animals.



The endangered Black Howler Monkey has very limited range including Belize, Southern Mexico and Northern Guatemala. It is one of the six howler monkey species found in Central and South America. It is one of two monkeys found in Belize, the other being the spider monkey. One of the most remarkable traits of the howler monkey is its loud, rasping howl, which can be heard roaring across the forest for well over a mile. The black howler monkey typically lives in troops of 4-12 individuals with a dominant male heading the troop. The monkeys are strictly vegetarian eating a wide variety of leaves, flowers and fruit. The Black Howler Monkey is the largest monkey in the Americas. Known locally in Bermudian Landing as baboons, Black Howlers have a notorious howl, a deep resonating and raspy cougar-like roar that can be heard for over a mile.
