RSG gives £ 4,470 for primates conservation
Category: Endangered Wildlife | Date: Apr 18 2008 | By: admin
The ongoing study of the rare primate of Samburu recently received a major boost when Rufford Small Grants for Nature Conservation awarded the project a grant of £ 4,470 for ongoing study on; The distribution and conservation status of the endangered Mt Uarges guereza and the de Brazza’s and Sykes’ monkey in Mathews range, Leroghi and Ndoto forests of Samburu Kenya.
This project aims to protect this globally important area and its primates, not only by active field work studies and monitoring but also through introducing community based conservation initiatives, strengthening forest reserve management in the areas, and building the capacity of relevant stakeholders to manage the local ecosystems
This is the second Grant I have received from Rufford for primates’ survey in Samburu region. I am sincerely grateful to RSG for this generous support which will see the study through the most critical stage – documenting new discoveries of three different primate species in the wider Samburu region.
