Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We hold our breath every time an injured howler comes to us for treatment. Because there are so few black howlers left in the wild, it’s vital that we save as many as we can.”

Source: Wildtracks’ co-founder Zoe Walker, dicscussing the recent save of Mia, a Yucatan black howler monkey hit by a car last week in Bermudian Landing. The animal got a second chance at life after being airlifted to the Wildtracks Primate Rehabilitation Centre in Sarteneja. The flight, arranged through LightHawk, a volunteer conservation aviation group based in the United States, transported its passenger to the Center in northern Belize for rest, recuperation, and, hopefully, restoration to the wild in a few weeks time.
