The newest issue of the journal African Primates is online and access is free! Two articles stem from events at Fongoli. One details our work in returning Fongoli infant chimp Aimee to her mother Tia after she was taken by poachers in January 2009. The other notes a rare sighting of a guenon (monkey) not normally found as far north as Fongoli. Here is the link to the journal:
