	Semuliki National Park is located in western Uganda, in the Albertine Rift valley, bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Virunga National Park. The Lamia and Semliki rivers bound the park to the west and north, and part of its southern boundary is formed by the Fort Portal-Bundibugyo road (BirdLife International 2021). The park is almost entirely covered by forest, which is dominated by the tree species ''Cynometra alexandrii''. As the site is cut off from the rest of East Africa by the Rwenzori massif, the forest is an easterly extension of the Ituri forest in northeastern DRC, and its flora and fauna show similarities with the forest in the Congo Basin (Sever 2021). The park was gazetted as Semliki Forest Reserve in 1932 and as National Park in 1993. The site is very rich in bird diversity and has been an Important Bird Area since 2001 (BirdLife International 2021). The park fauna is very rich and includes eight species of primates, 51 species of forest swallowtail and Charaxes butterflies (BirdLife International 2021).

	Main threats to chimpanzees include agricultural encroachment, poaching, and illegal harvest of forest products. The growing human population density in the county where the park is located (Bwamba) poses a big problem, as it is linked to a growing demand for agricultural land (BirdLife International 2021). In the 1970s and early 1980s approximately 30% of the original forest cover was cleared for agriculture and settlement (BirdLife International 2020). The encroachers were evicted in 1988 and 1990, allowing the forest to slowly regenerate (BirdLife International 2021).

	A study that produced a historical base-line model of chimpanzee metapopulation dynamics in eastern DRC and northwestern Uganda found that chimpanzees in Semuliki National Park are genetically closer to the populations in Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve and Itwara Forest Reserve than to the population in Rwenzori National Park (Rich et al. 2020).

	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).
