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". − --> − > [[West Africa]] > [[Liberia]] > [[Lake Piso Multiple Sustainable Use Reserve]] − = Summary = <!-- An overview of the site, with a one sentence overview of each of the following sections. can include a site map --> − − * Western chimpanzees (''Pan troglodytes verus'') are present in Lake Piso Multiple Sustainable Use Reserve. − * The population size is unknown. − * The chimpanzee population trend is unknown. − * This site has a total size of 972 km². − * Key threats to chimpanzees are pollution, logging, urban expansion, and hunting. − * Conservation activities have focused on education and awareness campaigns. − − = Site characteristics = <!-- A paragraph summary of physical and geographic aspects of the site, and a table of key information --> − − The site is situated on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is an important catchment area, with several streams and three rivers (Mafa, Mofe and Mawua) emptying into it (Sambolah 2007). Lake Piso has been designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International (BirdLife International 2019), and a wetland of international importance (Ramsar 2003). In addition to the western chimpanzee, the reserve hosts several resident and migratory bird species (FFI 2015). The site has been protected since 2011 (The Analyst News 2018). − − '''Table 1: Basic site information for Lake Piso Multiple Sustainable Use Reserve ''' − {| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="basic-information" − | Area: <!-- Please include units: km2/ha e.g 200ha --> − |972 km² − |- − | Designation: <!-- Protected area, Forestry concession, Community reserve --> − |Multiple Sustainable Use Reserve − |- − |Habitat types: <!-- List IUCN Habitat Classification 3.0 categories present (Without number), see link below --> − | Subtropical/tropical moist lowland, subtropical/tropical mangrove vegetation above high tide level, subtropical/tropical swamp, subtropical/tropical moist montane, savanna, permanent rivers/streams/creeks, sandy shoreline and/or beaches, sand bars, spits, etc., coastal brackish/saline lagoons/marine lakes − |} − [http://www.unitar.org/hiroshima/sites/unitar.org.hiroshima/files/Annex%201%20-%20IUCN%20Classification%20Schemes.pdf IUCN habitat categories] [[Site designations]] − − = Ape status = <!-- a text overview of ape status (population sizes, trends etc), followed by a table of specific surveys and results --> − − Western chimpanzees are reported to still be present at the site (Sambolah 2007).
