Threatened species of Pan troglodytes

Threatened species of Chimpanzee Nature:
Pan troglodytes are currently on the "endangered" list primarily because of human pressures. Development of land reduces chimpanzee habitat and fragments their existing populations, increasing the exposure to contagious disease. Fragmentation also makes the chimpanzee more accessible for commercial exploitation in a variety of forms.
Incidence:
The total number of chimpanzees taken per year is not known as a precise figure, but it is probably in the thousands. The best estimates are, that there are approximately 2.85 chimps per square kilometre in those areas. Numbers of chimpanzee in the wild are rapidly decreasing.
Pan troglodytes is considered as "Endangered" by the IUCN. CITES lists the species as "Appendix 1".
