<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING SITE INFORMATION
- Wiki pages contain information in paragraphs, tables, lists, and images.
- Text and images are not restricted, and their formats can be chosen as desired.
- Tables and lists are extracted as data, so the following restrictions apply to them:
1) Table structure cannot be changed.
2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.
3) To make information comparable across wiki pages, keywords must be taken from the list of permitted words, or added to the list of permitted keywords. This is why we use official lists, e.g., IUCN classification lists, in our tables.

* Eastern chimpanzees (''Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii'') are present in Kasyoha-Kitomi Forest Reserve.
* The population size is unknown.
* The population trend is unknown.
* The site has a total size of 343 km².
* Key threats to chimpanzees are hunting, charcoal production and mining.
* Conservation activities are not documented.

The forest is located in the Ugandan Albertine Rift. The site is an important source of timber and an important watershed for Lake George, one of the most productive fisheries in the world (Plumptre 2002). During surveys conducted by the Forestry Department, 14 species were found here and nowhere else (11 butterflies and three trees). In addition, five Albertine Rift Endemics occur here (2 trees, 1 bird, 1 small mammal and 1 moth) (Plumptre 2002).

= Threats = <!-- a text overview of threats, followed by a table of key threats -->
Human activity is high primarily due to logging activities but it can include other activities people engage in whilst in the forest. Charcoal production, hunting for bushmeat and mining (coltan and in the past gold) are the main threats to chimpanzees in the forest (Plumptre 2002).
