Colobus Conservation

191 people have signed — but we need more support! Tree cutting in Diani is threatening our environment, biodiversity, and the future of our primates. Every tree lost means less habitat for endangered colobus monkeys and other wildlife. Sign & share: change.org/StopTreeCuttin…

We are always inspired by the resilience our orphans have shown! Follow along to see the adventures of Mbweni and all the other monkeys in our care.

Introducing Mbweni! Found abandoned near Msambweni Beach, this young vervet stole our hearts when a concerned local brought him to us in October 2022. Since then, Mbweni has thrived under our care, forming a close bond with Moshi and embracing life in the nursery.

At Colobus Conservation, we take pride in nurturing the next generation of conservationists in Kwale County. As one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots, Kwale is an ideal location for instilling conservation values from a young age. #education

We are delighted to report that the continuous monitoring of the trees we planted in November 2023 as part of the IKI project indicates they are thriving. Witnessing the success of our restoration projects always brings us great joy. #trees

Every Monday, the teams at Colobus Conservation meet to plan the week's activities. Whether it's maintaining the bridges, insulating electrocution hotspots, conducting census activities, etc we ensure everything is organized to support the six primate species in Diani.

This is central to developing a long-term conservation plan to protect these primates and their habitat.

given that the last census of colobus monkeys was conducted in 2001. The data collected from this census will be instrumental in estimating and comparing the colobus monkey numbers and condition of their habitat to that of 2001.

Yesterday, we undertook a Colobus Census and biodiversity disturbance survey in Buda and Buda South to estimate colobus numbers and assess the levels of habitat disturbances. This was funded by the Chicago Zoological Society and marks a significant milestone,

Today, we are hosting a training session for our team leaders who will be participating in the colobus census. The primary objective of this training is to ensure harmony, consistency, and accuracy among observers, thereby enhancing interobserver reliability. #conservation

We're delighted to share that, thanks to your support, and with the help of the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), we've initiated the insulation of electrocution hotspots, areas prone to repeated electrocution incidents of Colobus monkeys and other primates.
