World Without Trees
by Mwanadmarii, Dama, Momo, and Ali
If all trees die, if all trees go.
The land will be brown and bare
Soil erosion will be more and more
And no plant will grow.
If all trees die, if all trees go.
Baboons, Colobus monkeys will daily wonder
Where did our beautiful fruits go?
Where shall we raise our young ones?
If all trees die, if all trees go.
Where shall we get our food?
We shall get weaker and weaker
Till we can jump no more.
If all trees die, if all trees go.
How unclean the air will be
No beauty to cheer us up
No shade, no shelter, what a shame.
If all trees die, if all trees go.
What will hold up the swing
when the children want to fly
and make their hearts sing?

My name is Gwili Gibbon. I'm Assistant Manager at The Colobus Trust. I am a British ex-volunteer who returned to work at the Trust after university, truly a dream come true. I joined in October 2007 and work hard to do what we can with our limited budget and small, but hardworking, team of volunteers and staff. I am using the experience I have gained through my education (& time here) and intend to use it to do all I can to ensure the survival of Colobus angolensis palliatus and it's associated habitats.
