Central chimpanzee - Population & Distribution

A range encompassing all or part of six countries

Current Population and Distribution
The central chimpanzee occurs from northern Cameroon to the Ubanghi River and south to the Zaïre River, with a range encompassing all or part of six countries. Flourishing populations are now found only where large areas of forest remain relatively undisturbed.

Up to 115,000 may remain, chiefly in Gabon, Cameroon, and Congo. Small, isolated, or relict populations occur in the Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, and Angola (Cabinda enclave), south-east Nigeria, and possibly the coastal extension of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
