The Jaibui Island is located in Pujehun District – Southern Sierra Leone (UTM 29, X: 238199; Y: 823787); its closest seven human communities, Boma, Sahun, Kambama, Gbengama, Baoma Ngeya, Sembenhun and Taninahun, use the island‘s resources. Over the time, the island has been owned and managed by the community members for the harvesting of local resources to meet their livelihood demands, until 2017 when Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary (TCS) entered into an agreement for co-management of the Island. Jaibui Island has a total area of 12.5 sq.km, surrounded by the Moa River, and shares its land borders with the [[Gola Rainforest National Park]] in the east and Tiwai Island in the north. The two adjacent forest blocks are extensions of the Upper Guinea Forest considered one of the 35 global most important biodiversity hotspots (Klop et al., 2009). The most recent camera trap study carried out in Jaibui Island recorded 35 mammals, 11 birds and one reptile (Tortoise) species (Garriga 2019).
