| The Tanoé Swamps Forest, the very last remaining forest block in the south-eastern corner of Côte d’Ivoire must be considered a top priority site for the conservation of Primates in West Africa. This forest is one of the latest refuges on earth for the most threatened three primate species in West Africa: the Miss Waldron red colobus (Piliocolobus badius waldronae), the diana roloway (Cercopithecus diana roloway) and the white-napped mangabey (Cercocebus atys lunulatus). This High Value Forest housing additionally several endemic plant species is poorly known and has no protection status. Since February 2008, an important Palm Oil Company has started the complete destruction replacement of the Tanoé Swamps Forest, the ecological and socio-economic importance of which is indubitable. By signing the manifesto you will help us to impede that destruction. |
