Located in western Tanzania, the Greater Mahale Ecosystem includes the Mahale Mountains National Park and its surrounding natural habitat. In addition to the eastern chimpanzee, other species of conservation concern that occur in the area include red colobus monkeys, elephants, lions, sables, and the endemic bird Kungwe apalis ([https://albertinerift.wcs.org/Wild-Places/Greater-Mahale-Ecosystem.aspx WCS]). A total of 1,939 mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and plant species have been recorded at the site, of which 15 species are endemic to the Albertine Rift and 28 species are threatened (CR, EN, VU) under the IUCN Red List ([https://albertinerift.wcs.org/Wild-Places/Greater-Mahale-Ecosystem.aspx WCS]).

In Tanzania, 90% of the country’s chimpanzees are found in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem, where suitable habitat is being lost and fragmented by the expansion of human settlements, conversion of land for agriculture, logging, and cattle herding (Chitayat et al. 2021). Chimpanzees in savanna-woodland mosaics, such as in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem, already live at relatively low densities, highlighting the need to identify and protect areas critical for chimpanzee conservation (Chitayat et al. 2021).

East Africa > Tanzania > Greater Mahale Ecosystem

Summary[edit]

  • Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) are present in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem.
  • It has been estimated that 2,600 individuals occur in the site.
  • The chimpanzee population trend is decreasing.
  • The site has a total size of 20,000 km².
  • Key threats to chimpanzees include human settlements in important habitat, logging and charcoal production, fires, expansion of agriculture and herding, and poaching.
  • Conservation activities have focused on anti-poaching patrols and presence of researchers, and providing fuel-efficient ovens.
  • The site holds approximately 90% of the chimpanzee population in Tanzania.

Site characteristics[edit]

Located in western Tanzania, the Greater Mahale Ecosystem includes the Mahale Mountains National Park and its surrounding natural habitat. In addition to the eastern chimpanzee, other species of conservation concern that occur in the area include red colobus monkeys, elephants, lions, sables, and the endemic bird Kungwe apalis (WCS). A total of 1,939 mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and plant species have been recorded at the site, of which 15 species are endemic to the Albertine Rift and 28 species are threatened (CR, EN, VU) under the IUCN Red List (WCS).
