This document represents the consensus of views from forestry and wildlife conservation agencies in Nigeria and Cameroon, local and international nongovernmental conservation organizations, and university-based researchers who met at a series of workshops in Cameroon and Nigeria to formulate a set of actions that, if implemented, will increase the longterm survival prospects of the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes ellioti. The Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee is the most endangered of all currently recognized chimpanzee subspecies, with a total remaining population of between 3,500 and 9,000 living in forested habitat to the north of the Sanaga River in Cameroon, the eastern edge of Nigeria, and in forest fragments in the Niger Delta and southwestern Nigeria.
