	Extinction of a West African Red Colobus Monkey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The monkeys of Bia, including the red colobus, were the subject of a field research program between 1975 and 1978 (Asibey 1978; Olson 1986).
		Other anthropoid species besides the red colobus were uncommon at all the sites we visited, and the species we saw or heard most often were small-bodied forms known to flourish in secondary forest: Lowe's guenon (Cercopithecus campbelli lowei), the spot-nosed guenon (Cercopithecus petaurista petaurista), and the olive colobus monkey (Procolobus verus) (Tables 1 and 2).
		Signs of this impending crisis, beyond the extinction of the red colobus and the evident fragmentation of the region's original forest, are the low frequency with which we encountered two other locally endemic primate subspecies, Cercocebus atys lunulatus and Cercopithecus diana roloway, each of which originally had a geographic distribution similar to that of P.

		The total area under protection is relatively small, and pressure to extract forest resources, especially timber, fuel wood and charcoal remains high due to a ready timber export market and increasing urban population centers such as Abidjan and Accra.
		Although Kingdon (1997) reports that the Togo mouse is little known and probably extinct, IUCN ranks it as critically endangered and a specialist group will need to meet and decide if it is in fact, extinct (IUCN 2000).
		However, this ecoregion was divided from the Upper Guinea lowland forest ecoregion west of the Sassandra River, which forms a biogeograpic barrier for species and subspecies, including a large number of amphibians, as well as Colobus vellerosus, Cercopithecus (m.) lowei, and Cercocebus atys lunulatus.
