Diani Census
Category: Human - Primate Conflict Resolution, Primate Rescue/Rehabilitation | Date: Sep 04 2007 | By: admin
Diani colobus census was carried out last month with the help of the volunteers.
Now the data is being entered into the computer for analysis and will be ready next week.
However, road accidents are still taking toll on the primates in Diani. So, more must be done on educating the public to change their attitude towards drivind too fast on the beach road. This I say because last week we have lost one colobus monkey through road accident and one vervet is recuperating in the quarantine cage with injured head.
Please help in conserving the primates.

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.
