Two New Colobridges
Category: Human - Primate Conflict Resolution | Date: Feb 26 2007 | By: admin
In the last few weeks The Colobus Trust has attended a number of calls to road traffic accidents in two black spots, where at least four monkeys have been killed by speeding cars. After a survey was carried out we decided two new colobridges needed to be erected. One of the colobridges will be erected near Diani house and the other one will be erected at bahati. These bridges will be the two longest we have and have been very kindly sponsored by the following people; John buckle and Tim. 
This morning I spent some time purchasing the materials for the two new bridges and already a group of volunteers have started working on them by preparing the materials such as steel wire rope, pipes , hosepipes and chain. We are hoping to finish up the construction tomorrow!

Sad to have lost four monkeys, but it is good to hear new bridges will be built. What are the bridges made from? Are there pictures on the site of a bridge that I’ve missed? I’m curious.
Thanks for the post!

My apologies - I see you have listed what the bridges are made from - I read it, but did not see it, if you understand what I mean. Thank you!
