A permanent site for the Colobus Trust

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.

Adopt a Colobus  Build a Colobridge Become a Member
Adopt a Colobus
Adopt a member of the troop of 8 colobus monkeys who have become mascots for the work that we do.  We have researched our troop for several years and have followed the progress of each member closely. When you adopt a Colobus, you will receive the following gifts of our sincere appreciation:
  •  A personalized adoption certificate, suitable for framing.

  • colour photograph of the Colobus Monkey which you have chosen to adopt.

  • A copy of the Colobus Trust’s home troop family tree showing your monkey’s relatives and his/her relationship to the troop.

  • An update on the progress of your monkey every 6 months in April and September via email with photographs.

  • Also, you will receive the Colobus Trust newsletter twice a year via e-mail to keep you updated with progress at the Trust.  

Adopting a Colobus Costs US$60 or 4,000KSH annually (500KSH annually for citizens). Please click here for pictures and information on the individuals of the troop. 

 

You can fill out and send this printable adoption  form via email or regular post. 

Sponsor a Colobridge

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!
