The red-bellied guenon (Cercopithecus e. erythrogaster) is an endangered subspecies of primate
endemic to the Dahomey Gap. To better understand its distribution pattern, interviews with local people in 180
localities in south Benin and southeast Togo and ground surveys were conducted from 2000 to 2007. The
species was found inhabiting eight localities in swamp forests, gallery forests and seasonally-flooded semideciduous
forests. Two of these are protected areas: the Lama Forest of Benin and the Togodo Reserve of
Togo. Appropriate conservation actions are necessary for the red-bellied guenon, including improved law
enforcement and regular monitoring. |
