Kenya: Colobus Monkey Recognised as Threatened

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya, Environment

“Kenya Wildlife Service has recognised Colobus angolensis, the type of Colobus monkey that lives here in Diani, as Nationally Threatened. As a whole this sub-species of Black and White Colobus is fairing comparatively well, thanks to large populations in remote forests of Tanzania, however, here in Kenya it is a different story.” Colobus Trust reports [1].
