Araguato are in great thunderous chorus above us-

Canaote is situated deep in Cojedes monkey country. Every day the canopy above our compound shakes with the activity of monkeys. Most days it is large families of Araguato that are in great thunderous chorus above us. Sometimes the chirp of more than twenty Capuchins can be heard late in the afternoon. Why do they all congregate at Canaote? There is a reason. To the East men have destroyed trees, their home. They come this way because we have an abundance of fruit trees, planted for them over seventeen years and because they have learned that we are a safe haven. No one dare molest monkeys or cut down trees where we stand guard. Monkey and other wildlife traders beware. Our picture, taken this morning, shows a typical family group, and of course there are many of them.

Araguatos aullando en gran coro ensordecedor encima de nosotros-


Canaote está situada en Cojedes. Todos los días el dosel encima de nuestro centro se sacude con la actividad de los monos. La mayoría de los días vienen grandes familias de Araguatos que aúllan en un gran coro ensordecedor por encima de nosotros. A veces el canto es de más de veinte araguatos, los capuchinos se llegan al final de la tarde. ¿Por qué todos se congregan en Canaote? Hay una razón. Los humanos han destruido los árboles, los cuales son sus casas. Ellos vienen porque tenemos una abundancia de árboles frutales, plantados por nosotros hace más de diecisiete años y porque han aprendido que somos un refugio seguro. Nadie se atreve a molestar a los monos o cortar árboles donde estamos, porque siempre estamos vigilantes.
Nuestra imagen, tomada esta mañana, muestra a un grupo familiar típico, y por supuesto hay muchos de ellos.

Under the bonnet. A note specially written for Primate Rescue network.

Under the hood. Specially Written In A notation for the Primate Rescue Network.

Canaote is dedicated to the rescue and restoration to the forest of monkeys in Venezuela. The monkeys that are brought to us have been rescued from abuse or have become unwanted pets. The release program entails the retraining of the monkey to adapt to wild life. But only rarely do we go heroically into the forest with monkeys for release. It is not a daily event because in most cases they have had only a few months with their mother, before being captured and sold into slavery. This training can be lengthy, in some cases running into several years. When they arrive at Canaote they must be kept apart from the other monkeys for a period of upto forty days. This quarantine period is to ensure that they are free of any communicable disease. And to allow time for tests such as blood excrement and urine. Our picture shows the quarantine enclosure. This has  been specially designed by us to give maximum safety to the monkey and safety and facility to the careperson.
On the extreme left and extending beyond the enclosure, is the eating place. This is covered against sun and rain. This has two doors, one for the monkey to enter and the other for the presentation of food and for cleaning and plate collection. There are two other larger compartments, connected by a small door. One on the extreme right is the resting or sleeping area. On the left of this a place for play. The sleeping area is accessed by double doors. The quarantine enclosure has been designed to allow the monkey to be safely positioned when cleaning or other operations are needed. When the quarantine period is complete the monkey then takes its place in a much larger enclosure and is able to share with other monkeys. Then the assessment is made. Is the monkey suitable for release or is this its final home? Young monkeys are best suited to release. Some of the older monkeys have spent too long in apartments and with humans and are just too dependent on us. Very difficult to teach the older one the streetwise of the forest.
