RESEARCH

The Colobus Trust has been engaged in research since inception in 1997 and continues research programmes and affiliations today.  Both leading specific research projects itself and through collaborations with other institutions and universities, the Trust seeks to expand understanding, knowledge and action in areas that affect its goals and mission. If you would like a copy of any of these reports please email us at info@colobustrust.org and we will try our best to get you a scanned or typed version of it.
