Primates

This family is the most important as far as species richness is concerned with four (3) species.
The data suggest the Bay duiker (Cephalophus dorsalis) is the most abundant species with a mean encounter rate of 0.04 signs km-1. This species showed one area of concentration in the south-western corner of the study site (Figure 8).

The Peter's duiker (Cephalophus callipygus) and Forest buffalo (Syncerus caffer) had a mean encounter rates of 0.02 & 0.01 signs km-1 respectively. Their spatial distributions (Figure 9 and Figure 10) depict the central-southern region of Lebialem-Mone Forest as areas of concentration

The family Suidea is represented by the Red river hog (Potamochoerus porcus). The data reveals that species is not abundant with a mean encounter rate of 0.03 signs km-1. The spatial distribution map (Figure 11) shows a high concentration area in the central and southern parts of the Lebialem-Mone Forest.

All human activities were lumped to determine the human activities hot spots. Analysis (Table 3) suggests a mean encounter rate of 1.05 signs km-1 (more than one sign per km). The spatial distribution map (Figure 12) shows a high concentration area in the eastern and western borders of the Lebialem-Mone Forest.

The highest mean encounter rates for human activities in the study area were recorded for hunting (snare lines, gun shells, gun shots, bush huts, hunters trails and cutlass cuts) with 1.9 signs km-1 (about two signs recorded per km). The spatial distribution map (Figure 13) shows a high concentration in most of the Lebialem-Mone Forest.
Agricultural activities' data suggest a mean encounter rate of 1.0 signs km-1 (about one signs per km). Agricultural activities includes; farming and plantations. The spatial distribution map (Figure 14) shows a high concentration area in the western parts of the study area.
