Yoko Council forest is located in central Cameroon.
Yoko Council forest is located in central Cameroon. The chimpanzees found in the forest may be ''Pan troglodytes ellioti'', but DNA tests have yet to confirm the subspecies (Kamgang pers. comm. 2023). The forest is owned by the council of Yoko, and villages around the council forest should normally benefit from the exploitation of its natural resources. Other endangered species found at the site include giant pangolins, white-bellied pangolins, black-bellied pangolins, and African golden cats (Kamgang pers. comm. 2023).

GIZ (Gesellschaft fur International Zusammenarbeit) program ProFEC- Program Forest, Environment and Climate is working since 2020 in and around the Yoko Council forest. They support the council of Yoko with the elaboration of a management plan for the council forest, which will focus on conservation objectives. The management plan will be aligned with the biomonitoring plan, which is being elaborated by the GIZ for the council forest and validated by the council. Moreover, the same GIZ program is working with the communities around the forest to develop income generating activities (Kamgang pers. comm. 2023).
