A number <strong>of</strong> studies have been conducted in New Dabaga/Ulangambi <strong>Forest</strong><br />

was reduced by 10% when compared to their density in West Kilombero Scarp<br />
<strong>Forest</strong> Reserve, which is subject to only low hunting pressure. Further, bush pig and<br />

(Nielsen 2005). Nielsen also found that the number <strong>of</strong> hunters positively correlated<br />
with village population. The reports indicate that previous researchers found that<br />
groups <strong>of</strong> Procolobus badius rarely have
