Abstract
Until recently, de Brazza's monkey Cercopithecus neglectus was not known to occur in the Kakamega and Kisere forests of western Kenya. Today, four groups of successfully breeding de Brazza's monkeys have been identified with a possibility of more. Although this may make the future of this species in Kenya slightly less bleak, efforts to conserve these forests are desperately needed. Through the efforts of Kenya's President, about 4000 ha of these forests have been designated a national reserve, but this area is far too small to support the rare de Brazza's monkeys as well as many other threatened species of flora and fauna. The forests cover about 25,000 ha and more of this land should be set aside as a reserve.
