−- Text paragraphs and images are not restricted, so text format and images can be chosen as desired.
−- Tables and keyword lists are extracted as data, and so have the following restrictions:
− 1) Table structure cannot be changed
− 2) Keyword format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.
− 3) Keywords must be taken from the list of permitted words, or added to the list of permitted keywords. A link to the keyword list page is found adjacent
− to the relevant table or keyword list. This ensures that the same keyword always refers to the same concept, e.g. Everybody uses "Industrial mining",
− rather than several keywords such as "Industrial mining", "Large-scale mining", and "Mining". [[File: Map_SLE_Bumbuna.png | 400px | thumb| right | Bumbuna Dam Catchment Area (Sierra Leone) © A.P.E.S. Wiki Team]]

−= Conservation activities = <!-- a text overview of conservation activities, followed by a table of key activities -->+The Bumbuna Conservation Area (BCA) is a small protected area (3,532 ha) that was established in 2008 with the aim of conserving some of the biodiversity in the reservoir area (MoEWR 2010; Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018).
−However, the BCA was deemed insufficient to compensate for the adverse environmental impacts, and as an additional offset, the Loma Mountain Non-Hunting Forest Reserve was upgraded to national park, which is now called the [https://www.protectedplanet.net/loma-mountains-national-park Loma Mountains National Park] (MoEWR 2010). Furthermore, there is a lack of conservation activities in the area (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018).

Local communities have reported that the chimpanzee population is decreasing in the area (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018). Furthermore, surveys conducted between 2006 and 2018 indicate a population decline in the Bumbuna Conservation Area (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018). Based on survey data collected in 2017-2018, it was predicted that the entire catchment area hosts approximately 388 chimpanzees (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018). The 2017-2018 survey was complemented by recce surveys, camera trapping, and genetic analysis (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018).

The Bumbuna hydroelectric project represents a major threat to the chimpanzee population in the area. The planned flooding of the inundation area will completely, or almost completely, reduce the home ranges of three chimpanzee groups, and four other groups ranging close the boundaries of the inundation area are also likely to be adversely affected (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018). The hydroelectric project also indirectly impacts chimpanzees. The displacement of some chimpanzee groups into the home ranges of other groups may lead to fatalities, due to the territorial nature of chimpanzees (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018). Displaced chimpanzees may also come into conflict with humans due to competition for the same resources (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018). Thus, in combination with the current rates of habitat loss and hunting, the development of the project puts an immense pressure on the chimpanzee population (Ganas-Swaray et al. 2018; Nippon Koei 2005).
