<!-- 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 Suitoro Classified Forest.
* The population size is unknown.
* The chimpanzee population trend is decreasing.
* The site has a total size of 435.03 km².
* Key threats to chimpanzees are hunting, cattle herding, family farming, and road construction bordering the site.
* Conservation activities have focused on habitat protection and patrolling.

Suitoro Classified Forest is a relatively small protected area that has the Comoé river as its eastern limit. It is dominated by savanna, with multiple dry forest islands, many of which are degraded by illegal farms of subsistence crops. Besides the chimpanzees, this CF is also used by forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) that come seasonally from CNP and Mont Tingui. Besides illegal crops and old illegal logging (2003-2006), there are artisanal gold miners, poachers and cattle herders regularly entering.

There is a low density of chimpanzees confirmed by the INFF in 2021 and but this population may be important for being in contact with that of MontTingui and CNP and could have continuity in unprotected areas to the south. In 2022, the CCCP confirmed the chimpanzee presence in several forest islands through indirect signs (nests, dung, tools) along reconnaissance walks and camera trapping.

Family farming or subsistence crops inside forest island, abandoned after some years of exploitation and artisanal illegal gold-mining, with camps inside the CF degrading chimpanzee habitat and displacing them. Poaching with shotgun and snares of all fauna, both savanna and forest pose a direct threat by killing the chimpanzees. National (dirt) road makes the northern limit of the CF and there is a project to enlarge and pave it and to construct a bridge to cross Comoé river in the near future, which will increase the human flow in the area and the speed of the evacuation of bushmeat and forest resources.
