I volunteered with CERCOPAN for almost 4 years and am now back in UK raising funds to help them continue their good work.  I will be running the Cardiff Half marathon 2008 on 19th October for CERCOPAN and do more runs in the future.  CERCOPAN has a very integrated approach to conservation of primates, working closely with local communities to develop alternative livelihoods to hunting, raising awareness with over 50 schools, receiving over 30,000 visitors a years (all for free) to the primate rehabilitation and education centre, protecting over 3000 hectares of tropical rainforest and carrying out research on the rainforest and all the plants and animals inside.  It's amazing how little is known about this rainforest and the last 4 surveys carried out at CERCOPAN's rainforest centre at Rhoko, have produced new species or new subspecies.  Incredible!  At the end of the day, CERCOPAN cares for over 130 monkeys, most of them orphans from the bushmeat trade and illegal hunting activities.  CERCOPAN needs your help to address these issues, raise awareness in the schools, help the local communities to develop alternative livelihoods so that their rainforest can be preserved, carry out research and most importantly, look after and care for these endangered and unique primates.
