Wakuluzu: Friends of the Colobus Trust is a non-profit conservation organization designed to promote the conservation and protection of the primates like the rare angolan colobus monkey (Colobus angolensis palliatus) and its coastal Kenya. The Trust was established in 1997 in response to an outcry from the local residents about the high number of colobus deaths in the Diani area. Now, six years later, the Trust has numerous projects including animal welfare, biological/ecological research, community development, education, forest protection, and eco-tourism awareness. Our mission statement is: To promote, in close co-operation with other organizations and local communities, the conservation, preservation and protection of primates, in particular the angolan colobus monkey and its associated coastal forest habitat in Kenya.
