<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SITE INFORMATION

<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING SITE INFORMATION
 
+
- Wiki pages contain information in paragraphs, tables, lists, and images.
- Please consider whether any information you would like to add is sensitive and could be misused to harm apes. Please do not add such information. If unsure, you can contact the Wiki manager (contact details on start page) for clarification.
+
- 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:
- Wiki site pages contain information in paragraphs of text, tables, keyword lists, and images
+
   1) Table structure cannot be changed.
- Text paragraphs and images are not restricted, so text format and images can be chosen as desired.  
+
   2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.  
- Tables and keyword lists are extracted as data, and so have the following restrictions:
+
   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.
   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".

This section includes a paragraph summary of physical and geographic aspects of the site, a brief history of the site and on animals and plants that are known to occur at the site.

The site is located in eastern Nigeria, bordering Cameroon. It is Nigeria's largest national park and was established in 1991. Rich in bird biodiversity, the site is an Important Bird Area, with 366 species so far recorded (BirdLife International 2020). In addition, 300-500 butterfly species are believed to occur at the site, and 103 mammal species have been recorded (BirdLife International 2020).

West Africa > Nigeria > Gashaka-Gumti National Park

Summary[edit]

Loading map...
  • Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes ellioti) are present in Gashaka-Gumti National Park.
  • The population size is unknown.
  • The population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of 6,731 km².
  • Key threats to chimpanzees are not reported.
  • Conservation activities at the site have not been documented.

Site characteristics[edit]

The site is located in eastern Nigeria, bordering Cameroon. It is Nigeria's largest national park and was established in 1991. Rich in bird biodiversity, the site is an Important Bird Area, with 366 species so far recorded (BirdLife International 2020). In addition, 300-500 butterfly species are believed to occur at the site, and 103 mammal species have been recorded (BirdLife International 2020).
