Abstract
A preliminary assessment of the effect of the conflict in the zone indicates that elephants have been significantly impacted, and populations remain concentrated in the relatively safe zone around Epulu. Other species, in particular primates, shows little evidence of heavy hunting pressure. The results for chimpanzees, duikers and okapi cannot yet be interpreted. Completion of the post conflict base line surveys and comparisons of pre and post conflict census results will be important. A post conflict faunal baseline is planned for the RFO upon completion of inventories in the north and southwest sectors of the reserve.
