Key threats to chimpanzees include snares set by hunters (typically targeting duiker and pigs), loss of trees around forest edge due to settlement, loss of trees inside forest due to timber extraction and charcoal production, and human-to-chimpanzee disease transmission ([http://www.budongo.org/ BCFS]; Reynolds 2005). Further threats to chimpanzees come from nearby oil extraction. These include effects on chimpanzee habitat of constructing and operating infrastructure for oil and gas drilling and transportation, together with population displacement and importing of foreign labour.
