Colobus Monkey

The Tanzania-Zambia railway now bisects the Magombera Forest Reserve in Tanzania, and as a result the most viable surviving population of the rare endemic Iringa red colobus is seriously threatened. The railway has facilitated tree-felling, settlement and cultivation, and the colobus habitat is already seriously damaged. The authors conducted a survey of the forest in 1979, and recommended that the southern part, which has a viable colobus population, be included in the neighbouring Selous Game Reserve, thus giving that part the stronger protection of a game reserve, and that the local people be compensated by the release to them of a small area of the Selous.

Colobus Monkey

There are five, perhaps only four, monkey species in The Gambia and all are under threat. The main problems are habitat destruction, hunting of crop raiders and illegal capture for medical research. The information presented here was collected during a long-term study from March 1978 to September 1983 on the socio-ecology of the red colobus monkey in the Abuko Nature Reserve. Further information was collected during brief periods between February 1985 and April 1989 on the presence of monkeys in the forest parks. It is not systematic nor extensive, but it indicates clearly that action is needed if monkeys are to remain as part of the country's wildlife. The most pressing need is for survey work to supply the information needed to work out a conservation plan.
