Our partners
The Demographic Republic of Congo is home to 7 taxa of the genus Piliocolobus. With the aim of catalysing the global effort and making a high impact on the conservation of red colobus monkeys, we created the red colobus national group for DRC under RCCN. This group has 53 members.
The objectives of the group are below:
-
Improve communication between individuals, researchers, organisations, institutions working on red colobus monkeys or in their habitat range in the DRC;
-
Improve DRC young primatologist training, coaching and leadership and encourage them to work on red colobus monkeys;
-
Monitor the implementation of the Red colobus Conservation Action Plan (ReCAP) across the DRC;
-
Document and communicate on their findings and difficulties with the big group RCCN and receive technical and financial support.
