Dwarf boas or tropes of the genus Tropidophis are small and colorful snakes occurring in the West Indies and South America. Sixteen species occur in Cuba, half of the world’s species and all of them are endemic to this archipelago. Many of these species have limited distributions and are seriously threatened, such as the Cuban Khaki Trope (Tropidophis hendersoni), the main target of this project.

There is a newly discovered population of the Central American spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) in eastern El Salvador. Recent research has demonstrated that the spider monkeys from this region are genetically unique and also critically endangered. Through regular observations of the spider monkeys and by mapping their range, we are creating a foundation for future, long-term conservation efforts.
