Despite its name, the Budongo-Bugoma corridor is not a migratory corridor for chimpanzees travelling between the Budongo and Bugoma Forests. A regional survey by McLennan (2008) showed that chimpanzees were resident and widely distributed throughout the corridor landscape. Based on an extrapolation of chimpanzee density for one resident community within the corridor, Bulindi, McLennan estimated a total regional population of 260 individuals. A genetic mark-recapture study conducted in 2012-2013 confirmed this approximate population size distributed broadly throughout a network of mostly unprotected forest fragments between the Budongo and Bugoma Forests (McCarthy et al., 2015). The population comprises nine or more resident chimpanzee communities (McCarthy et al. 2015, 2018). More recent work in this region has indicated declines in some of the community-specific abundance estimates reported by McCarthy and colleagues (BCCP, unpublished data).

Several resident chimpanzee communities within the Budongo-Bugoma corridor are subjects of ongoing research and monitoring (BCCP 2020), including the long-term Bulindi study community (e.g. McLennan et al. 2019b). Other communities under study include the Kasokwa-Kityedo (Reynolds et al. 2003), Kasongoire (Oxley 2019), Wagaisa (McCarthy et al. 2017; McLennan et al. 2021) and Mairirwe (McLennan et al. 2019a) communities. Locations of these communities are shown in McCarthy et al. (2015, 2018).
