Abstract
The eastern chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, is an endangered chimpanzee subspecies of global conservation concern, living at low density (less than 1 individual/km 2 ) in most of its range (Keele et al. 2006; Plumptre et al. 2011) in eastern Africa. As chimpanzees have a relatively low reproductive rate (Caldecott & Miles 2009), their ability to recover from population decline is limited. Documenting the extent and severity of such decline events, as well as targeting adequate conservation plans, requires reliable baseline data on density estimates of great apes (Oates 1996) in area of occurrence.
