In the past, hunters use to beat their chest for killing one but excessive hunting has driven these chimpanzees to almost extinction, there are less than 70 individuals alive in that forest.
The forest was designated as Forest Reserve at National level in 1975, there are suppose to be laws prohibiting the killing of such endangered sub-species.
