Koumbia is located in western Guinea in the prefecture Gaoual and is transboundary with Guinea-Bissau. The French colonial government declared Koumbia a National Park in 1933 (WCF 2012), but the site has no formal protective status at this point. Koumbia does not have a designated IUCN category nor is it listed in the World Database on Protected Areas ([https://www.protectedplanet.net/country/GN UNEP-WCMC and IUCN 2018]).

In 1997 Rebecca Kormos conducted a transect survey around the village Moyerai which is located to the North of the site Koumbia and concluded that chimpanzees were present in relatively high densities (Ham 1998). In 2010 the [http://www.wildchimps.org Wild Chimpanzee Foundation] did a transect survey in Koumbia (survey area was bordered by the Sentha river and Guinea-Bissau in the North and the Kongo river and the Boké-Gaoual in the South) and estimated that 296 individuals (CI: 164-532) occurred in the area (WCF 2012).

During the survey by the WCF 27 villages were identified in Koumbia with an estimated total population of 2,600 inhabitants (WCF 2012). The most prevalent threat was agriculture (0.46 signs/km) and the high number of roads shows that the site is strongly used by people (WCF 2012). Based on low encounter rates, the WCF concluded that wood extraction, poaching and human settlements likely pose only a minor threat to the wildlife in Koumbia (WCF 2012). However, it was noted that recently, hunters not belonging to the local villages entered the area to hunt bushmeat commercially for urban markets (WCF 2012).

More recently, the mining company [https://www.amcbauxite.com Alliance Mining Commodities] started developing a Bauxit mining site west of Koumbia. There are plans to build a road to the mining site and a port at the river Rio Nuñez (Alliance Mining Commodities 2018).
