Our current site, where our
headquarters is based, is rented. We are guaranteed a 5 year
lease, but within this time we need to raise the funds to purchase a
permanent site for the Trust.
We need to raise approx.
250,000 GBP. If you are able to contribute any amount towards our
appeal to purchase a permanent site for the Trust, we would be grateful.
Any donation,
large or small, will help us greatly.

Diani Beach Highway is a very busy stretch of road the
runs parallel to the beach and cuts through the middle of Diani Beach
Forest. The highway runs through the territory of Colobus Monkeys,
Vervets, Sykes and Baboons. These troops regularly cross the busy
highway and are often hit by cars in the process. To
help prevent road traffic injuries and deaths of primates, the Colobus
Trust designed a cable, rubber and PVC bridge that straddles the Diani
Beach highway.
The Trust keeps track of how many primates are injured or
killed by road traffic accidents in each section of the road, and uses
this data to determine which areas of the road are in most need of a
Colobridge. Currently, there are 25 bridges that cross the highway, but
we need more.
It costs the Trust US$384 (25,000 KSH) to build a
Colobridge, and US$154 (10,000 KSH) per year to maintain it.Please
donate to support the construction
and maintenance of a Colobridge in Diani Beach!
