The Drill Project is a conservation initiative focused primarily on producing a wildlife documentary on an endangered species of primate, The Drill. These animals are in critical danger of extinction due to the increasing bushmeat trade in West Africa. The film is to be used for a conservation campaign to educate, inform and generate awareness in West Africa about the drill in addition to an international wildlife documentary. The drills have never been filmed in their natural habitat and very little scientific research has been undertaken, contributing to the lack of knowledge and protection. By increasing awareness and providing protection for these animals, subsequent protection will be granted to many other species of endangered and endemic primates found on Bioko Island and in West Africa.
