Miss Waldron’s Red Colobus Piliocolobus waldroni The Miss Waldron's Red Colobus is listed as Critically Endangered as the species is estimated to have undergone a population decline of more than 80% in the 30 years (approximately three generations) up until the last authenticated specimen (killed by a hunter) was found in 2002. Deforestation through logging, charcoal production, cocoa farming and clearance for agricultural land (including industrial oil palm and rubber tree plantations), occurred over much of the species range in the last 50-60 years. http://palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/15/miss-waldrons-red-colobus-piliocolobus-waldroni/
