Conservation Issues for Endangered Wildlife Species in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Nimba Mountains-Republic of Guinea

—The general objective of this work is to study the constraints linked to the conservation of threatened wildlife species in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Nimba Mountains. Thus, the Accelerated Participatory Research Method (MARP) was used to collect data from resource persons, through semi-structured interviews based on survey sheets. Word and Sphinx Plus V5 software allowed us to process the data collected. 33 wildlife species are threatened in the RBMN with the main causes being poaching and illegal trade (30%), habitat loss, overexploitation of resources and population pressure are also worrying factors, with respective high threat levels (20%), on the other hand, insufficient awareness of a moderate threat level (10%). Among these species, ten (10) are threatened with extinction, or 30.30% of the animal population. Furthermore, surveillance and monitoring, restoration of degraded areas, participation of local communities, scientific research, international collaboration, village development groups are the measures for sustainable conservation of the biodiversity of the RBMN.
