What the Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic does.

Wonderful video of the story of a baby howler monkey that was hit by a car and rescued.  The BWRC is currently leading the Heska contest for the $25,000 grant.  There is still a day(or 2 depending on which part of the site you read) to help them keep that lead.  http://www.heska.com/Inspiration-Wall.aspx

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,”

Well said: "Not only can Belize satisfy the needs of either an explorer or a socialite, it also suits the pleasures of just about any lifestyle in between. Except, that is, for lovers of McDonald’s and other fast-food emporiums, for they simply do not exist in Belize."

One review: "I am disappointed that I can not rate this establishment and its people higher than a 5. In truth a 10 is warranted. The location is beautiful and manicured, the accommodations attractive and charming wall which can only be topped by the warm attentive service of all staff."

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.

Video of the Solitary Eagle rescued at the BWCN.

The Solitary Eagle.  One of the rarest, least known, large raptors, with currently only one known nest in its range from Mexico to Argentina, is being worked on by the BWCN.  Check out this amazing documentary on it.  And vote for them.

Unfortunately, the Solitary Eagle didn't make it, even with all the effort the BWCN put into it.

If you can see the pictures, it was a great turnout at Mr. Greedy's, and the after party was even better!  It was difficult figuring out which picture captured the moment best.
