Police Saving Animals Left and Right

A few months back the police rescued a Howler Monkey that was being held captive at Hermanos Yong hardware store behind the counter and gave it over to the experts at ANAM (Environmental Agency).

More recently a monkey was electrocuted while passing through the trees in Big Creek. It was a mother Howler with her baby on its back. The mother unfortunately died of the electric shock and both fell to the pavement below to be discovered by the bus driver of the Bluff Shuttle.

The good news is the baby survived and with the help of Holly Hummel, some students from the School for Field Studies and the police, another Howler was rescued and turned over to ANAM for rehabilitation.

Then days later, the police caught a group of sea turtle poachers in Playa Larga (Bastimentos). One Hawksbill sea turtle was saved and the poachers were apprehended.

Nice work, Policia Nacional!
