Mone River Forest Reserve. Mone River was created as a Production Forest Reserve in the 1950‟s. Although there are no human settlements within the reserve boundaries, local people harvest timber, wildlife and other forest products unsustainably from the forest. In a 2003 review (“Plan du Zonage”) it was suggested that Mone River‟s status be upgraded to that of Wildlife Sanctuary. However, the future status of Mone is now in some doubt, and it is thought that government may consider assigning this area to commercial timber exploitation. There is an urgent need to develop a conservation plan that provides protection for the gorillas in Mone, while recognizing the needs of the local people. This is especially important given the possibility, suggested by genetic data, of continuing connections between the gorillas of Mone and other neighboring forests.
