Summary

This project will help Colobus Conservation purchase a new vehicle to expand its rescue operations. Through the purchase of a new car, the population of the Angolan Colobus Monkeys will be rescued protected and preserved, resulting in the sustainment of the species. Additionally, the expansion of our operations will provide resilience against climate change for the local communities, due to the increase in the indigenous trees we will be able to supply support in restoring the forest landscapes.

Challenge

To carry out all of the conservation work in Diani, we have one vehicle. This vehicle is constantly in use carrying materials to insulate power lines to prevent monkey electrocutions, maintaining our colobridges to prevent road traffic accidents, attending the many wildlife rescue calls we receive each week, and delivering trees for our reforestation projects. Consequently, impacting the effective expansion of rescue operations to Kwale.

Solution

The purchase of a new vehicle is critical to expanding Colobus Conservation's rescue and reforestation work. It will ensure we can support the communities that rely on the ecosystem services from forests while protecting the threatened colobus monkey, other primates, and other forest-dependent wildlife.

Long-Term Impact

Through the provision of a new vehicle, the population of the Angolan Colobus Monkeys will be protected and preserved, resulting in the sustainment of the species. Additionally, the expansion of our operations will provide resilience against climate change for the local communities as consistent supply of the indigenous trees will help in the restoration of the forest landscape. This precious area provides the community with eco-system services such as rain.
