Starting last week I’m doing more office work in Libreville- analyzing data and preparing my presentation and scientific poster on the Gabon manatee work for the Society of Marine Mammalogy conference at the end of November, and trying to organize logistics for some fieldwork in Akanda National Park in northern Gabon and in Angola.

Last week the only excitement was the appearance of a Mustached Monkey in the garden at the Cas de Passage in Libreville. It was clearly an escaped pet, but we all delighted in having it visit.
