<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING SITE INFORMATION
 +
- Wiki pages contain information in paragraphs, tables, lists, and images.
 +
- 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.
 +
  2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.
 +
  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 site is located between the Boumba River and [[Lobéké National Park]], to the west of the Moloundou Road. ZICGC stands for ''Zones d'Intéret Cynégétique à Gestion Communautaire'', areas where communities can exploit flora and fauna under community-led management plans with the oversight of governmental conservation authorities (Nelson 2003).

Central Africa > Cameroon > ZICGC 9

Summary

  • Central chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) & western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are present in ZICGC 9.
  • The population sizes are unknown.
  • The great ape population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of approx 2,800 km².
  • Key threats to great apes are not documented.
  • Conservation activities are not documented.

Site characteristics

The site is located between the Boumba River and Lobéké National Park, to the west of the Moloundou Road. ZICGC stands for Zones d'Intéret Cynégétique à Gestion Communautaire, areas where communities can exploit flora and fauna under community-led management plans with the oversight of governmental conservation authorities (Nelson 2003).

The selection criteria required for joining the group of community delegates responsible for managing the ZICGC such as the need for French literacy, mitigates against the membership of Baka community representatives. In 2002, less than 10% of the delegates for ZICGC 9 were from the Baka majority, and they were mainly chosen by local Bantu chiefs, not by the Baka themselves (Nelson 2003).
