Assessing the population status of wildlife is useful for enhancing biodiversity management strategies in protected areas. This study was carried out within the framework of the Faro National Park (FNP) management plan. The objective was to provide baseline data on the status and population dynamics of the Buffon's kob (Kobus kob kob). The surveys were conducted in the month of June at the beginning of the rainy season. Data were collected along 145 line transects of 2.5 km apart and analysed using Distance 7.2 and Quantum GIS 3.4 software. The Buffon's kob population was estimated to comprise around 4,094 ± 1,303 individuals, with an overall density of 1.24 individuals/km². When compared to results from a study conducted in the year 2000, the concentration of Buffon's kob was higher in the northern part of the national park as opposed to the southern part, as was previously recorded. The population trend shows an extensive decline of approximately 80% compared to records of the year 2000. There was also a weak negative correlation between Buffon's kob density and human activities in the FNP.

喀麦隆北部法鲁国家公园中的布冯鳕（kobus kob kob，ERXLEBEN 1777）的状况和种群动态

评估野生动植物的种群状况有助于加强保护区的生物多样性管理战略。这项研究是在法鲁国家公园（FNP）管理计划的框架内进行的。目的是提供有关布冯巨嘴鸟（Kobus kob kob）的状况和种群动态的基线数据。调查在雨季开始的六月进行。沿距离为2.5 km的145个线样线收集数据，并使用Distance 7.2和Quantum GIS 3.4软件进行分析。布冯的kob种群估计约有4,094±1,303个个体，总密度为1.24个个体/ km ²。与2000年的一项研究结果进行比较，如先前所记录的那样，布冯可可豆的浓度在国家公园的北部比南部的更高。人口趋势显示，与2000年的记录相比，下降了大约80％。布冯的鸟嘴密度与FNP中的人类活动之间也存在弱的负相关性。
