In a survey from 1995 to 1997 a total of 94 species of mammals were identified (Ziegler et al. 2002). The park is home to a small population of lions (''Panthera leo'') ([http://lionalert.org/alert/lions_in/Guinea Lion Alert 2012], Bauer 2003), as well as leopards (''Panthera pardus''), hippopotamus (''Hippopotamus amphibius'', Brugière et al. 2006), jackals (''Canis sp.''), civets, patas monkeys (''Erythrocebus patas''), baboons (''Papio sp.''), green monkeys (''Chlorocebus sabaeus''), and mangabeys (''Cercocebus sp.'', Brugière 2006, Brugière & Kormos 2009, WCF 2012, Ziegler et al. 2002).

Haut Niger National Park was identified as an ‘Exceptionally Important Priority Area’ in the Regional Conservation Action Plan for western chimpanzees in 2003 (Kormos & Boesch 2003).

In conclusion though, after a nationwide survey of 11 sites a WCF report concluded that anthropogenic signs inside the two core areas were a lot less prevalent than in other protected areas across Guinea (WCF 2012).

Since 2004 CCC also implements an awareness raising program on the topics of ‘importance of chimpanzee conservation’, activities that are illegal and threatening chimpanzees, and the general importance of protecting the national park by holding village meetings, distributing information material and creating radio programs in local languages for broadcasting across Guinea (Projet Primates 2016). There is also an ecomuseum and a botanical garden in the national park (UNESCO MAB 2011).

Lack of funding as well as logistical and technical support were cited as impediments to making and implementing a new management plan for the park (Humle et al. 2009a). The evaluation of management effectiveness concluded, that due to a lack of financial and technical means as well as lack of training, an efficient monitoring and law enforcement throughout the park was not possible (METT 2009).
