The Drill Project

The Drill Project is a conservation non-profit 501c3 registered in the US aimed at providing educational resources and conducting scientific research to aid in conservation efforts regarding the endangered Drill monkey. Based on Bioko Island off the coast of West/Central Africa, the island is home to Equatorial Guinea's capital of Malabo as well as rich levels of biodiversity and 11 species of primates. Drills are one of the largest and least known species of monkey and are threatened with the illegal bushmeat trade which is pushing them towards extinction both on Bioko and on the mainland of Nigeria and Cameroon. Through research and conservation outreach focused on the use of film, we hope to increase the awareness of these endangered animals and fragile ecosystems. The Drill Project is dedicated to working with other organizations, government agencies and communities to provide the protection necessary to save the drills from extinction.
