  • This site has a total size of 96 km².
  • Key threats to chimpanzees are agriculture and livestock farming.
  • Conservation activities were not reported.
  • Sobeya was a temporary research site of the Pan African Programme: The Cultured Chimpanzee (PanAf).


Site characteristics

Sobeya is a temporary research site of the Pan African Programme: The Cultured Chimpanzee (PanAf) close to the village Sobeya in Guinea. More specifically this site located in the southern part of the Fouta Djallon. Research was conducted for 12 months in 2012 and 2013. The area is characterized by savanna and gallery forests. Species encountered include the Guinea baboon (Papio papio).
