Mbarizunga Game Reserve

The Mbarizunga Game Reserve is found in South Sudan. It was established in 1939. This site covers 10 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi).[1] Chimpanzees were thought to occur at this site; however, there is no recent information on the occurrence of chimpanzees at this site (Department of Wildlife Management 1982). The tropical forest habitat features key species of Bongo, bushbuck, and Yellow-backed Duiker.[2]
