We now have a second confiscated white-faced monkey (carablanca) in our care.  They are both young males and can be housed together for now.  When they mature and become territorial, they will have to be separated to prevent conflicts.  The local troupe of white-faced monkeys often ventures very close to our buildings and animal enclosures, so it will be interesting to see if they become curious and interact with our pair.  Tourism is rapidly picking up now, so the  number of visitors to the project is increasing.  We have also had a large number of offers to volunteer since the organization Preserve Planet.org has publicized us on Facebook.  

Pura vida,
Kevin
