Byblos Resort & Casino in conjunction with Kids Saving the Rainforest has donated money and supplies to replace some of the 30 man made monkey bridges located around Manuel Antonio National Park area enabling the continued safe transit of the endangered Titi (squirrel) monkeys.
Kids Saving The Rainforest, a not for profit Costa Rican organization, has been working with the Monkey Bridge Program for the last 10 years in and around the Manuel Antonio area.
“Giving the monkeys safe passage over busy roads and populated areas by strategically placing rope “bridges” is an integral part of our work.” says Jennifer Rice, representative of Kids Saving the Rainforest. KSTR was saddened to report that over 30 monkey bridges were destroyed from the freak tropical storm that devastated much of the natural vegetation last June 1st.
