<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING SITE INFORMATION
- Wiki pages contain information in paragraphs, tables, lists, and images.
- Text and images are not restricted, and their formats can be chosen as desired.
- Tables and lists are extracted as data, so the following restrictions apply to them:
1) Table structure cannot be changed.
2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.
3) To make information comparable across wiki pages, keywords must be taken from the list of permitted words, or added to the list of permitted keywords. This is why we use official lists, e.g., IUCN classification lists, in our tables.

* Western chimpanzees (''Pan troglodytes verus'') are present in Blei Community Forest.
* The population size is unknown.
* The chimpanzee population trend is decreasing.
* The site has a total size of 6.29 km².
* Key threats to chimpanzees are iron ore mining and poaching.
* Conservation activities have focused on poaching patrols.
