Miss Waldron's Red Colubus

Rob Newman tells the story of a species we've lost forever, and explores our role in their extinction.

Miss Waldron's Red Colobus was a black and russet-coloured West African monkey.

It was living in the treetops in large, sociable troops, when human activity began to encroach on their land, and their way of life.

Produced at BBC Bristol by Emily Knight.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 2019.
