Mantled Howler Monkeys

Conservation and rehabilitation of wildlife is an extremely taxing and rewarding career to get into. My time at this sanctuary was memorable, as I got hands-on experience of how to properly care for wildlife and fall in love with it. It is amazing to learn about the ins-and-outs of monkey behaviors and recognize their intelligence through day-to-day activities. Though the work is definitely not easy (there's lots of poo and pee; work involving lifting/carrying branches, minor construction, etc.), the benefits of seeing your hard work come to fruition is what made my time here so valuable. I was able to form bonds with individual monkeys and understand their personalities and their wild nature!
If you are thinking to work here, be bold and do it! The people you will meet are fascinating in their own ways, and the scenery of the place is gorgeous!
