<!-- 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.

= Threats = <!-- a text overview of threats, followed by a table of key threats -->
The main threats documented in the area are human-chimpanzee conflict due to crop-raiding. There have been instances of attacks by chimpanzees that entered the towns of Empada (in 2018), as well as Madina de Baxio. Although hunting of chimpanzees is generally low, the capture of baby chimpanzees for the pet trade does occur (Quecuta pers. comm. 2023).
