-Buy Land for the refuge:

 Originally the black howler monkeys lives in a jungle environment, mostly in the
 rainforests of Chaco, a province of Argentina. That is where they were captured to 
 end as pets or as Zoo exponates.
 As their food diet contains mainly leaves they depend on living in a forest with a big 
 variety of plants and trees.
 The province, where the refuge is sited in, has a mountainous landscape with very 
 few forests.
 The few tree groups and the small eukalyptus and pine forest on the refuge ground
 cannot satisfy the food demand of the rehabilitated howler monkey groups.
 That is why they need to be fed additionally everyday with fruits, vegetables, rice...
 Sooner or later space for new rehabiltated groups will be running short, too.

 That is why the refuge is planning to buy a big terrain with jungle in the the province 
 of Chaco and create there a rehabilitation area in which the monkeys will be able to live
 completely on their own, independent of human support.
 Then they will be really free again...
 
 That is why the refuge is asking  for donations in the name of the black howlers or 
 is trying to find a reliable and upright investor, who wants to buy 300-500 hectar
 of land or more and allow the black howler monkey groups to live there for ever.
 If you are interested in buying land in Chaco for the purpose of monkey rehabilitation
 or to donate a bigger amount to buy land, please contact the webmaster (impressum)
 in English or German, or contact the refuge in Spanish (contact).
