Ape status

There are no recent estimates of chimpanzee abundance in Ghana. The last estimate was made by Teleki's (1989), which estimated between 300 to 500 chimpanzees to be present in Ghana. The chimpanzee's presence was confirmed during field surveys in 2005 at this site (Oates, 2006), however recent surveys in 2009 failed to confirm their survival. (Gatti, 2009) .
