Two groups composed of both wild-born and captive-born orphans have been released by the Projet Protection des Gorilles (PPG) of The Aspinall Foundation into the Batéké Plateau National Park in Gabon in 2001 and 2004, with high post-release survival, successful reproduction, and female transfer between groups ([[#R00121\|Le Flohic et al. 2015]]). The Plateaux Bateke National Park was officially designated on the Gabonese side in 2002, and management activities began there in 2004, in collaboration with the Projet de Protection des Gorilles and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS n.d.).

	The Batéké Plateau National Park was established in 2002. The park is located in southeastern Gabon; together with the bordering Ogooué-Leketi National Park in Congo, the parks form a transboundary protected area covering more than 5,500 square kilometers (Dasgupta 2018). The park is situated in a transitional landscape between the southeastern edge of the Gabonese rainforest and the northwestern limit of the savannah-dominated Batéké Plateau (Hedwig et al. 2018). The site harbors an interesting biodiversity found nowhere else in the Congo Basin. In addition to chimpanzees and western lowland gorillas, mammal species such as the lion (''Panthera leo''), Grimm's duiker (''Sylvicapra grimmia''), the side striped jackal (''Canis adustus''), and the Denham's bustard (''Neotis denhami'') are found in the park ([https://congo.wcs.org/wild-places/bateke-plateaux.aspx WCS]). In the gallery forests of the park, typical forest dwellers such as elephant, buffalo, bushpigs, duikers, and several monkey species are found ([https://congo.wcs.org/wild-places/bateke-plateaux.aspx WCS]).

	A 2014-2016 camera trap survey led to the discovery of a lion and mandrills in the park (Hedwig et al. 2018). Lions were previously thought to be extinct in the northern part of the Western-Congolian savannah-forest mosaic (Hedwig et al. 2018). The black-footed mongoose and long-nosed mongoose were also detected for the first time at the site (Hedwig et al. 2018). Observations from the survey resulted in a total number of 36 medium to large-sized mammal species confirmed to be currently occurring in the park (Hedwig et al. 2018).

	As part of a study on the exposure of African great ape sites to climate change impacts, Kiribou et al. (2024) extracted climate data and data on projected extreme climate impact events for the site. Climatological characteristics were derived from observation-based climate data provided by the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP, www.isimip.org). Parameters were calculated as the average across each 30-year period. For 1981-2010, the EWEMBI dataset from ISIMIP2a was used. For the two future periods (2021-2050 and 2071-2099) ISIMIP2b climate data based on four CMIP5 global climate models were used. For future projections, two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) were used. RCP 2.6 is a scenario with strong mitigation measures in which global temperatures would likely rise below 2C. RCP 6.0 is a scenario with medium emissions in which global temperatures would likely rise up to 3C by 2100. For the number of days with heavy precipitation events, the 98th percentile of all precipitation days (>1mm/d) was calculated for the 1979-2013 reference period as a threshold for a heavy precipitation event. Then, for each year, the number of days above that threshold was derived. The figures on temperature and precipitation anomaly show the deviation from the mean temperature and mean precipitation for the 1979-2013 reference period.

	The estimated exposure to future extreme climate impact events (crop failure, drought, river flood, wildfire, tropical cyclone, and heatwave) is based on a published dataset by Lange et al. 2020 derived from ISIMIP2b data. The same global climate models and RCPs as described above were used. Within each 30-year period, the number of years with an extreme event and the average proportion of the site affected were calculated (Kiribou et al. 2024).
