Short summary
From November 2011 through to November 2019, we carried out seasonal road transect surveys and estimated population densities of Manyara monkeys and vervet monkeys in Lake Manyara National Park. Both species occurred at relatively high densities, and their population trends remained fairly stable over the study period. Our research highlights the value of long-term monitoring and the importance of Lake Manyara National Park as a stronghold for the endemic and endangered Manyara monkey.
