<!-- 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.

Established in 1990, Monte Alén National Park is located in Equatorial Guinea. The size of the park was doubled in 1998 with the inclusion of Mount Mitra, and in 2000 another section to the south was added (BirdLife International 2020). Since 1992, the European-Union-funded ECOFAC program has been involved in the management of the park (Cadecott & Miles 2005).

Central Africa > Equatorial Guinea > Monte Alén National Park

Français | Português | Español | Bahasa Indonesia | Melayu

Summary

Loading map...
  • Central chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) & western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are present in Monte Alén National Park.
  • The population sizes are unknown.
  • The great ape population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of 2,000 km².
  • Key threats to great apes are hunting, logging, and habitat loss due to agricultural expansion.
  • Conservation activities are not reported.


Site characteristics

Established in 1990, Monte Alén National Park is located in Equatorial Guinea. The size of the park was doubled in 1998 with the inclusion of Mount Mitra, and in 2000 another section to the south was added (BirdLife International 2020). Since 1992, the European-Union-funded ECOFAC program has been involved in the management of the park (Cadecott & Miles 2005).
