摘要

背景和目的:了解种群数量对于有效的保护规划至关重要。喀麦隆埃博森林是濒危物种普氏猴和其他几个世界自然保护联盟红色名录物种的据点。在这项研究中,我们评估了埃博森林中普氏猴的种群数量。研究方法通过实地考察收集普氏猴的生态数据和人为干扰的证据。我们用相遇率来评估普氏猴的丰度和分布,并比较四个调查点之间的相对丰度。我们采用方差分析来检验鄂博森林中不同地点的普氏猴相遇率是否存在显著差异。我们使用回归分析来确定与普氏猴的相遇次数与所记录的人为活动之间可能存在的关系。结果:根据直接观察,我们发现有 66 只普氏猴居住在 11 个群体中。因此,普氏猴的相遇率为 0.15 个个体/公里,目击频率为 0.024 个群体/公里,相遇频率为 0.062 个群体/公里。平均每公里发现 2.4 个人为活动迹象。我们的研究结果表明,普氏猴的遭遇与人类活动(如狩猎迹象、伐木迹象、种植作物的证据、非木材林产品的采集以及捕鱼活动)之间存在显著的负相关。结论我们的调查表明,埃博森林中的普氏猴总数约为 481 只,符合其濒危地位。保护意义:我们建议继续对该种群进行监测和研究,以更好地确定导致其种群数量下降的具体原因。我们还提倡采取社区保护的方法,激励当地社区在保护森林和普氏猴方面发挥更积极的作用。同样重要的是开展保护教育和宣传计划,以激励当地人参与到这一物种的保护中来。

Effects of Human Disturbance on the Endangered Preuss’s Monkey (Allochrocebus preussi) in the Ebo Forest, Cameroon: Implications for Conservation
Background and Aim: Knowledge of population size is crucial for efficient conservation planning. Limited population survey data exist for the Endangered Preuss’s monkey in Cameroon’s Ebo forest, a stronghold for this species and several other IUCN RedList species. In this study, we assessed the population size of Preuss’s monkey in the Ebo forest. Methods: Ecological data on Preuss’s monkey and evidence of anthropogenic disturbances were collected based on recce surveys. Encounter Rate was used to assess abundance and distribution, and for comparing relative abundance among four survey sites. We employed ANOVA to test for significant differences in encounters with Preuss’s monkey across sites in the Ebo forest. We used regression analysis to identify possible relationships between encounters with Preuss’s monkey and anthropogenic activities recorded. Results: Based on direct sightings, we observed 66 individuals residing in 11 groups. This resulted in an encounter rate of 0.15_individuals/km, a sighting frequency of 0.024_groups/km, and an encounter frequency of 0.062_groups/km of Preuss’s monkeys. On average, an encounter rate of 2.4_signs of anthropogenic activities/km was documented. Our results revealed a negative and significant correlation between encounters of Preuss’s monkey and human activities such as hunting signs, logging signs, evidence of planted crops, collection of Non-Timber Forest Products, and fishing activity. Conclusion: Our investigation indicates that the population of Preuss’s monkey in the Ebo forest totals approximately 481 individuals, which is consistent with their Endangered status. Implications for Conservation: We recommend continued monitoring and research on this population to better determine the specific drivers of their population decline. We also advocate a community conservation approach to incentivize local communities to take a more active role in preserving the forest and protecting Preuss’s monkey. Equally important, are programs of conservation education and awareness, in an attempt to inspire local people to become involved in this species conservation.
