Saffi is grown up now and waiting patiently for her mate to arrive from Morocco. Berlin - The Colobus Monkey Berlin, a Colobus Monkey was born in the UK and destined to spend his life confined to a cage in a backyard, as a pet. Rescued by WildLink International he was placed in the Gentleshaw Wildlife Sanctuary where Rob Smith and his team have taken great care of him, but both WildLink and Rob had always hoped to find him a much larger home, preferably with more Colobus monkeys to keep him company. After 3 years of searching, WildLink have achieved this aim. A new Colobus enclosure has been established in 8 acres of woodland at a safari park, and WildLink have arranged for a bachelor troop of Colobus monkeys to go there.
Berlin is now one of that troop.
Read Berlin's story and a background feature on the Colobus Monkey. Gentleshaw and Shepreth have been a great support to the animals and us. If you live close to either of these centres then pay them a visit and give them the support they need to continue with their work. Well they are doing very well indeed. All have survived and Philip Oosthuizen the Conservation Officer at Hoedspruit Air Force Base is delighted with their progress.
