A local response to development and road injuries
Colobus Conservation was founded in Diani in 1997 after residents became concerned about the effects of development on wildlife, particularly road deaths involving Angolan colobus monkeys. That origin still explains its focus: protecting primates requires attention to the places where roads, homes and other human activity overlap with coastal forest.
The work extends beyond one monkey species
The Angolan colobus is central to the organisation’s mission, but its programmes also serve other primates sharing the coast. Rescue and welfare sit alongside habitat conservation and efforts to reduce conflict between people and monkeys. This combination connects individual animals needing help with the wider conditions that shape their survival around Diani.
Rescue responds to the hazards of a shared landscape
The organisation describes cases involving traffic injuries, electrocution, displacement and illness. Treatment and rehabilitation aim to give affected animals the best opportunity for recovery and, where suitable, release. These are distinct challenges: helping an injured monkey does not by itself remove the road, electrical or habitat-related danger that brought it into care.
Recovery can include rebuilding social life
The official site introduces Libra, an orphaned monkey rescued after being kept as a pet. His account describes rehabilitation with future integration into a vervet group and return to the wild as goals. His story shows why recovering a social life can be part of preparing an orphan for greater independence.
Trees and school activities connect care with prevention
School-based tree planting involves children in growing and caring for indigenous trees while learning about forests and wildlife. The organisation also publishes reports and research and offers ways to support its programmes. Explore its official accounts for current volunteering, symbolic adoption or visitor arrangements, and direct local questions to the organisation rather than assuming every service is available on demand.
