Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that focuses on teaching people about the environment, protecting different kinds of plants and animals, preserving and taking care of the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary Private Protected Area and the Monkey Bay National Park in Central Belize. Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary was officially recognized as a Private Protected Area on April 22, 1990. After this recognition, the sanctuary started a program in Belize aimed at teaching people about the environment. In 2015, Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary became a registered non-profit organization with the main goal of providing educational programs that bring in money to help manage and support the sanctuary. The sanctuary also provides places to stay for people who want to learn through their study abroad programs at Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and at Tobacco Caye in the South Water Marine Reserve.
