About

The Red Colobus Conservation Network is a coordinated conservation community of volunteer individuals, institutions, and organisations dedicated to improving the conservation status of the Red Colobus monkeys and working collectively to achieve the vision of raising these highly endangered primates to a Flagship species.

Our Vision

We envision the range-wide improved conservation status of all red colobus species in the near future.

"Red colobus monkeys are the most threatened group of primates in Africa. Intense hunting pressure and habitat disturbance are rapidly reducing their populations across the continent, and they are unable to survive in captivity. Comprehensive and informed conservation actions, like ReCAP, are urgently needed to avoid their impending extinction."
