Critically endangered Western Chimpanzees affected by roads up to 17.2 km away
We calculated that the effects of roads on the critically endangered western chimpanzee extends to an average of 17.2 km from major roads and 5.4 km from minor roads. Our results enable development planners, government regulators, project funders and conservationists to better avoid and mitigate road impacts on chimpanzees.
