Welcome

Welcome to the "East African Primate Platform", a platform established to share information on  taxonomy, diversity, distribution and conservation status of all primate taxa in eastern Africa.

This website is based on our long-term study, “Assessment of the Diversity and Conservation Status of Primates in Eastern Africa”. Here you will find publications, brief descriptions of projects, photos, audio files, etc., on past and present work.  More on .... background

Feel free to surf this platform or to contact us. You can leave a note or join a discussion on our weblog.

Photographic maps of primates and warthogs To present the phenotypic diversity of primates occurring in Kenya and Tanzania, five photographic maps (‘photo maps’) were developed. All photos are geotaged (with a Gisteq PhotoTrackr or a handheld GPS and Picasa) and uploaded to a Picasa Web Album. You can view the photo maps, and leave a comment, using the the following links:

Colobinae	Chlorocebus pygerythrus	Cercopithecus mitis
Papio anubis & Papio cynocephalus	Galagidae	Cercopithecus mitis x Chlorocebus pygerythrus hybrid

Hyrax

Phacochoerus africanus & Phacochoerus aethiopicus
