The Samburu primates study that I lead is made up of research assistants, guides, scouts and secuirity escorts who are mostly drawn from the local Samburu community. I am glad to share with you photos of some of the peope that have made the fieldwork part of this study a success.
The Team at Ngare Narok in september 2007 where we were making preliminary observations of the ecology of the newly discovered population of de Brazza’s monkey in Mathews range.
The Ang’ata Nanyuki team in Leroghi where our search for sykes monkey were fruitless in June 2007.
The Uaso Ngi’ro rivers near Lodung’okwe. The team which I led was searching for sykes monkeys believed to have been in this area in the 1980s
The team at Lagat valley in Baragoi searching for Patas monkey
Another team at Angata Nayuki in Leroghi that was looking for Patas and sykes monkeys
A guide and an escort in last year’s de Brazza’s monkey survey in Mathews range.
The list is not exshaustive as not all of them are currently available in my photo library. As you read my posts, please remember that this people played a crucial role in the study and they deserve credit for their contribution. I am personally very grateful to my team for serving with deligence and dedications despite the numerous difficulties and hardships, especailly lack of adequate resources during feildwork.

Hi Maureen. I hope we will get another chance to work together. For now, I have to rely on the local people so that I don’t take unnecessary risk by taking people from outside Samburu. I am personally unable to go there though my team on the ground is doing a good job. By February I am sure it will be safe to travel there.
