The Baboon Sanctuary got a good write up in NatGeo.

The Baboon Sanctuary got a good write up in NatGeo. | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

It's great to see the Baboon Sanctuary in NatGeo's Top 10 Animal Encounters: "Two hundred landowners have pledged to protect their local population, an initiative started at Bermudian Landing and now covering more than 19 square miles (50 sq km) of rain forest along the Belize River."

Chloe Cudaback's curator insight, April 10, 2014 3:07 AM

This is a different kind of sanctuary altogether from the ones I have been scooping and blogging about. This sanctuary is huge that runs along the Belize River. The land actually belongs to several different people, but they have all agreed to keep their part free from harm to the baboon populations. 

This article specifically addresses National Geographic's stamp of approval on this story and the wonderful effort that the land owners are making to improve the lives of wild baboons.

NatGeo also lists Belize in their Best Adventure Destinations for 2012 | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

NatGeo also mentions Belize in their Best Adventure Destinations for 2012, because of Cayo, of course.  They even quote Larry Waight from Chaa Creek!  “Next year, 2012, represents an important time for rebirth, reflection, and renewal for the Mayas, who still make up a significant portion of Belize’s population,”
