Every year we share the revenue from ecotourism with our local communities (Touba, Sambel K***a, Misera, Wellingara, Yeda, Banni) who provide access to and ongoing protection of their forests to support C4RC with red colobus conservation. The funds contribute to community development projects and this year they have been used to expand solar lighting, repair bore holes and build a local primary school. We are grateful for the generosity of all the tourists, students and researchers who have visited C4RC over the years.
