Abstract
A community‐based sanctuary for the black howler monkey (Alouatta pigrc) has been established on 18 square miles of riverine forest along the Belize river, Belize. It is based on voluntary signed pledges by subsistence farmers to abide by management plans for their lands. Conservation‐education programs which impact favorably on the villagers are being carried out.Keywords
