Situated to the northwest of ([http://panafwiki-n.eva.mpg.de/index.php/Sapo_National_Park Sapo National Park]), Krahn-Bassa Proposed Protected Area (KBPPA) is part of the Taï-Grebo-Sapo forest complex. The Wild Chimpanzee Foundation (WCF) have collected nearly 3,000 observations of wildlife at the site; in addition to the critically endangered western chimpanzees (''Pan troglodytes verus''), pygmy hippos (''Hexaprotodon liberiensis''), pangolins (''Smutsia gigantea''), and forest elephants (''Loxodonta africana'') inhabit the area (WCF 2018).

Based on a transect survey in 2017, the estimated chimpanzee population is approximately 531 (WCF 2018). No other systematic surveys have been conducted in the area, thus, the population trend is unknown.

The WCF surveyed 455 households in the proposed protected area in 2017. This socioeconomic survey showed that communities in the area have very limited access to public services, vital resources and infrastructure (WCF 2018). Bushmeat hunting and trade are primary activities in the surveyed communities. Anthropogenic pressure is high in and around the area, due to logging, mining, and farming activities. In addition, WCF’s survey revealed some chimpanzees kept as pets in the communities, and one chimpanzee was confiscated by the Forestry Development Authority (WCF2018).

Together with Liberia’s Forestry Development Authority (FDA), the WCF has surveyed the proposed protected area to provide knowledge on the abundance and distribution of threatened and endemic species, and thereby endorse the creation of a new protected area (WCF 2018).
