Ouré-Kaba was identified as an important area for the protection of biodiversity by several programs and researchers: It was identified as a priority area for the protection of the western chimpanzee in the National Action Plan for Chimpanzee Conservation in Guinea from 2005. It was also identified as ‘Priority Zone 1’ by the STEWARD program (Sustainable and Thriving Environments for West African Regional Development funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United States Forest Service / International Programs (USFS/IP) (WCF 2015). Furthermore, Brugière & Kormos (2009) identified Pinselli and Soyah CFs as a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA).

In the nationwide survey by Rebecca Kormos the presence of chimpanzees in around villages throughout Ouré-Kaba was confirmed based on a questionnaire survey (Ham 1998). A transect survey in the same area established relatively low chimpanzee densities (Ham 1998). In 2005 the [https://www.janegoodall.org.uk/?catid=0&id=29  Jane Goodall Institute] started working in the area and found a high biodiversity and the presence of chimps (JGI 2007 as cited in WCF 2012). The associated report is not publicly available. In 2009 the [http://www.wildchimps.org  Wild Chimpanzee Foundation] in collaboration with the [https://www.janegoodall.org.uk  Jane Goodall Institute UK] and the Direction Nationale pour les Eaux et Forêts (DNEF) surveyed an area in the south-west of Ouré-Kaba (WCF 2012). Ouré-Kaba was also surveyed as part of the Foutah Djallon wide survey by the WCF in 2011 and while chimpanzee densities were low, they were present throughout the entire area (WCF 2012).

Large parts of Ouré-Kaba are used for agriculture, including slash and burn practices, and cattle grazing (WCF 2012). The WCF estimated that around one third of the area are used for agriculture. Signs of other human pressures such as hunting, logging, settlements and fire were present, but encounter rates were low (WCF 2012). However, a rapid assessment on the status of classified forests in Guinea by the Program for Environmental Governance in Guinea (PEGG) stated that during political unrest in 2007 and 2008 Pinselli and Soyah were heavily impacted by illegal logging, and that 50 ha of fruit plantation in Pinselli were given to federal employees (PEGG 2012). Hunting pressure is low as local traditions discourage bushmeat consumption, especially for primates and swine (WCF 2012). A railway that would cut through this area, including directly through Pinselli CF has been proposed to transport extracted minerals to ports at the coast of Guinea as part of the Simandou Project (Rio Tinto 2013). The current status of this project is not clear. In addition, there are plans to develop a hydroelectric site at Kassa very close the Guinean-Sierra-Leonean border, only 12 km from Pinselli CF that could impact the area. However, the while a feasibility study was commissioned, the current status or whether it will be developed is not clear (ECOWAPP 2011).

The STEWARD program by USAID has been active in the region since 2008 and its aim is to protect biodiversity and improve rural livelihoods in transboundary areas in the Upper Guinean Forest Ecosystem. They also focus on harmonizing policies and legal frameworks regarding management of natural resources (WCF 2015). Specific activities implemented include the creation of a community forest in Ouré-Kaba, and the training of local authorities in using Geographic Information System (WCF 2015). During its survey the WCF noted a high environmental awareness by local communities as a result of the above mentioned projects (WCF 2012).
