Mont Sângbé National Park is a national park in Côte d'Ivoire, considered one of the world's principal national parks.[1] It acquired national park status in 1975.[1]
The National Park is located entirely within the Monts du Toura, a range of mountains west of the Sassandra River, taking in 14 peaks.[2] It covers an area of 95,000 ha (950 km2/360 sq m) north of Man, between Biankouma and Touba. The park consists of very densely vegetated savanna woodland with wildlife populations of elephants, buffaloes, warthog, antelopes and monkeys.[1][2]
Great apes population
Herbinger and Lia (unpublished, 2001) carried out a chimpanzee survey in Mont Sangbe National Park in May 2001, finding a population of 235-260 individuals in a survey area covering less than 5% of the park's total area, a population density of 5.7 chimpanzees per km2.[3]
