Update: L’Hoest’s Monkey Socioecology Project 2025

At Kanyawara in Kibale National Park, Uganda, team members John Rusoke and Nelson Mwesige are collecting social and feeding data on our habituated L’Hoest’s monkey group. L’Hoest’s monkeys, also sometimes known as mountain monkeys, are relatively understudied semi-terrestrial guenons.
