- 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

Lobéké National Park is situated in the southeast corner of Cameroon. The park forms part of the Sangha Trinational (TNS) transboundary conservation landscape, which also includes [[Dzanga-Ndoki National Park]] in the Central African Republic, and [[Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park]] in the Republic of Congo (N'Goran 2017; BirdLife International 2020). With at least 305 bird species recorded, Lobéké National Park is a designated Important Bird Area (BirdLife International 2020). The saline swamps found in Lobéké attract large numbers of elephants and bongos, and the park contains a significant proportion of untouched primary forest (BirdLife International 2020). The park has one of the highest concentrations of gorillas and elephants in the continent ([https://fondationtns.org/en/ Sangha Tri-national Trust fund]).

Summary

Gorillas in the Petite Savanne Bai, Lobeke © Dirck Byler
  • Central chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) & western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are present in Lobéké National Park.
  • It has been estimated that 2,658 gorillas and chimpanzees occur in the site.
  • The great ape population trend is decreasing.
  • The site has a total size of 2,153 km².
  • Poaching is a key threat to chimpanzees and gorillas.
  • The site forms part of the Sangha Trinational transboundary conservation landscape.

Site characteristics

Lobéké National Park is situated in the southeast corner of Cameroon. The park forms part of the Sangha Trinational (TNS) transboundary conservation landscape, which also includes Dzanga-Ndoki National Park in the Central African Republic, and Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo (N'Goran 2017; BirdLife International 2020). With at least 305 bird species recorded, Lobéké National Park is a designated Important Bird Area (BirdLife International 2020). The saline swamps found in Lobéké attract large numbers of elephants and bongos, and the park contains a significant proportion of untouched primary forest (BirdLife International 2020). The park has one of the highest concentrations of gorillas and elephants in the continent (Sangha Tri-national Trust fund).
