NEW CAR FOR COLOBUS TRUST ALLOWS FOR BETTER CONSERVATION WORK
(Posted 25th September 2014)
The Diani based Colobus Conservation has recently received a major donation in form of a new vehicle, donated by Base Titanium, a company licensed to mine for minerals in the Shimba Hills area, Kwale County.
The new car will help to extend wildlife conservation efforts by the NGO including their community outreach and sensitization programmes, all aimed to help the survival of the black and white colobus monkey colonies still found along the Diani coast line and the remaining patches of forest.

Meanwhile has the organization also announced that four of the female vervet monkeys they released back into the wild two years ago, and which are still monitored, are now pregnant, with ‘Houdini’ and ‘Rafiki’ expecting their first monkey babies.
Colobus Conservation received regular financial support from Safarilink, Kenya’s premier safari airline, which for every ticket sold from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Ukunda airfield, and vice versa, donates a given amount of money to the conservation NGO.
