pandrillus.org goes live
May 19th, 2008 by lizaAfter several years and a few false starts the pandrillus.org website has finally gone live.
We’ve included some basic information on Pandrillus and our projects as well as the flora and fauna that we are working to preserve in Nigeria and Cameroon.
You can use the contact section to find out more about donating, volunteering and how to get in touch with us.
Additionally, do enjoy our pictures in the photo section where you can find pictures of the wildlife, staff and projects we are part of.
We will continue to develop the website in the months to come with more information, pictures and news of our work.
The website was developed by Jeremy Brown and Keith Lynch, two overlanders who passed through Drill Ranch in the last week on their motorcycles. You can read more about their adventures and travels on their website: www.2wheels2africa.com. The website was developed at the Drill Ranch in Calabar with no electricity or Internet on macs, fueled by home cooked food and Gulder!

Hi Liza,
Hi Peter,
The website is great (no wonder done on Mac
and the contents make all my amazing memories fresh again…
The atmosphere at Drill Ranch that forces the tears to fall automatically because one cannot believe that such beautiful places still exist, the sounds of the bush thrilling the air in the night, drills easily climbing the highest trees I have ever seen, chimpanzees making you feel like an idiot comparing with their level of intelligence…
You just have to cross so many real and imaginary borders, leave the typical mankind way of thinking behind you and discover the astonishing primate’s nature.
Thanks for the unbelievable time
for the chance to learn so many things
and the opportunity to watch Ainare in action and drills and chimps’ reaction
and cheers to wildlife, let them be wild and free

Dear Liza & Peter,
Congrats on the website, it looks great! Hope you guys are all doing well, and please give my best to Ade, Jibola, Irene, Jacob, Pascal, Patience, Joy, Rita, Friday, and anybody else that who is not included in this little list of names
I would love to come back for a visit some day… I am moving to South Africa at the beginning of 2010 if all goes as planned, so who knows? I may just stop by for a cup of tea 
How are Baby Boo, Lucy, Jack, Ndolo and Balinga doing, are they behaving? How’s Luna, is she still running around camp at night? And what about Potto Otto, did you ever see him again?
Anyway, just wanted to drop a line and send you both a big hug. Take care!

Hi Peter and Liza,
Happy New Year of the Gorilla! http://www.YoG2009.org
Congratulations on the new website – it looks great and will doubtless grow and grow and before long you’ll have embedded videos! Which reminds me, if you’d like any of the photos or video clips from my visits, let me know. We now have a techno-volunteer putting such things on the Ape Alliance website,a nd he would, I’m sure, help add some to yours. You could also add a ‘gallery’ for visitors to post their best shots.
Hope to see you soon.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi Liza,
So glad you could take time to talk to Alvin Rosenbaum and myself a few weeks ago. Your foundation is doing some great work, and I’ll make an effort to go to Limbe if I return to Cross river soon. I hope our current economic crisis won’t put much of a dent in your finances. If I can be of any service from Washington DC, do not hesitate to contact me. Alvin’s TEMPO program is going on till early 2010 so I hope they’ll give you a chance to contribute in the interest of building sustainable tourism in your corner of Nigeria.
Best of luck, Manuel Knight

Hi well Peter and Lisa still going well I hope. remember me from your early days in Calabar, I used to beg cargo nets off the FPSO 6 to keep the chimps happey. I was there at the same time as Phillipa from the BBC.
So pleased to see you are still going and doing your stuff. I am back in the area but this time in Equatorial Guinea another drill location I understand though they do not let us out of the Exon compound when we change crews so I see nothing except the airport.
Hope that all is well with you and that things continue to work out great to see your web site

When I originally commented in http://www.pandrillus.org/2008/05/test-news-item I clicked on the – “notify me”- checkbox and after this each time a new remark is applied on pandrillus.org goes live | Pandrillus site, I recieve few email messages using the similar comment. Possibly there is by any means it is possible to eliminate me through that program? Thanks!

trying to find you, what’s your facebook or twitter?

Dear Pandrillus fans – or not!
I am responsible for this website and apologize for not giving those old friends of the project current updates. But suddenly I notice a lot of new posts in the last few days. Bobby Oglesby, sorry, I don’t know why you are getting multiple emails. So am I, the administrator!
Bret – your comment, “forums built within the very same subjects?”
I have no idea what you’re talking about, what forums?
make a baby – we are not on facebook or twitter.
I think something has linked into our site…..will try to figure this out. Our apologies, but please stay with us!
For those old ranch friends – we are putting up a new 30 ha chimp enclosure at Afi, with funding from the Australia High Commission, Abuja. We are about to release group 1. Those are the important things!
And we need your support.
Please let me know or forward if those of you who don’t know us continue to receive strange posts.
cheers, Liza
