Threats to the conservation of the species are limited at this site. The main threat is the reduction and disappearance of suitable habitats for their movements and survival mainly due to deforestation from slash and burn agriculture for cassava, rice and groundnut cultivation in the area. This is gradually leaving the chimpanzee population vulnerable to human conflicts, as the remaining patch of chimpanzee habitats overlaps with human settlements and cultivated areas thereby resulting in first crop raiding and then human wildlife conflict where chimpanzees have been killed in the process (Garriga & Kanneh 2022).
