About Us

Colobus Conservation is a not-for-profit organization working to support, promote and advocate forest conservation to ensure the long-term survival of the nationally threatened Angolan black and white colobus monkey (Colobus angolensis palliatus) and other primates on the South Coast of Kenya, mainly in Diani.

Colobus Conservation was founded in January 1997 and was as a direct result of local residents in Diani becoming extremely concerned by the impact of human development on the populations of primate species in the area, especially due to the high number of road accidents involving colobus monkeys.


Sadly the need for our work has intensified over the years, due to increased development within the Diani area. To meet demands Colobus Conservation has broadened its’ programs focusing on habitat conservation, community linkages, people/primate conflict management, welfare, education and eco-tourism awareness programme. The work of Colobus Conservation is recognized internationally by AZA Colobus Species Survival Plan (SSP) and Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) accreditation.Colobus Conservation is a Kenyan registered, not for profit company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital.

Diani Turtle Watch

Sea turtles are vulnerable to human impact on the environment. Since sea turtles need a wide range of habitats throughout their lives, they are impacted by:


Development of the beach environment


Destruction of the mangrove forest


Destruction of sea grass meadows


Destruction of coral reefs


Climate change & Ocean level rise


Pollution


These threats to sea turtles are also negatively impacting humanity, through coastal erosion, loss of food security, weather extremes and loss of livelihoods.


As sea turtles are such a fantastic indicator of ocean health, if we protect and enhance the environmental elements that sea turtles need to thrive, humanity will also benefit greatly.
