The education room |
The Colobus Trust has been based at Colobus Cottage or the past 9 years. We have invested a great deal into development of our facilities here, and now have an office, volunteer accommodation, visitors centre, shop, tree nursery, native tree plantation, vet clinic, quarantine & rehabilitation cages, not to mention our nature trail that runs through the fantastic coastal forest that accounts for approx. 80% of the 3.9 hectares (9.64 acres) plot. Lastly, and most importantly, this plot is home to a troop of Colobus monkeys and wildlife of many other species. Sadly, we may soon be moving, as Colobus Cottage has been put up for sale by the owners.
We are trying to raise US$ 490,000 to buy the plot, but may have been beaten to it by a private purchaser. We will keep you posted on what happens. If we have to move, we have found suitable rented accommodation but need to raise at least US$ 17,520 to fund the move. If you can help us raise the money to buy the Colobus Cottage, or help with the costs of our move, please email jophie@colobustrust.org as soon as possible.
Thank you

The Colobus Trust was established in Diani Beach, Kenya, in 1997 to save the endangered Angolan colobus monkey which was a frequent victim of roadkills. The Trust's trademark is Colobridges - bridges over the roads for save overpass.

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.
