ABSTRACT
Situated in the south-west of Côte d’Ivoire, the Tai Forest represents one of the last remnants of West African dense humid forest, having survived the great periods of the quaternary era (Riezebos, 1994). It is highly diverse, with a number of endemic species (Guillaumet, 1967; 1994; Aké Assi, 1984; Oates, 1983; Allport et al, 1994). As a result of its biological diversity, the Tai National Park (TNP) has attracted the attention of the international research and conservation community.
