- 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:

   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.

The northern half of the reserve is dominated by teak, oil palm, and cocoa plantations (Greengrass 2006). In the southern half of the reserve, even though the forest seems to be in a better condition, logging pressure is very high and large mammals are very scarce (Greengrass 2006).

West Africa > Nigeria > Ala Forest Reserve

Summary

  • Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes ellioti) have been present in Ala Forest Reserve.
  • Chimpanzees are extinct or nearly extinct at the site.
  • The chimpanzee population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of 199 km².
  • Key threats to chimpanzees are hunting and logging for oil palm, cocoa, and teak plantations.
  • Conservation activities not documented.

Designation Forest Reserve
Habitat types Arable land, plantations, subtropical/tropical heavily degraded forest, subtropical/tropical moist lowland forest

Ape status

Chimpanzees are extinct or nearly extinct in Ala Forest Reserve (Greengrass 2006). During a 2006 survey, no chimpanzees, nor signs of chimpanzees, were encountered (Greengrass 2006).

Threats

The northern half of the reserve is dominated by teak, oil palm, and cocoa plantations (Greengrass 2006). In the southern half of the reserve, even though the forest seems to be in a better condition, logging pressure is very high and large mammals are very scarce (Greengrass 2006).
