The deforestation in the natural habitat of mandrills, particularly in the Congo and other regions of Central Africa, poses a significant threat to their population. Mandrills are greatly affected by deforestation and the loss of their tropical rainforest habitat, which is attributed to factors such as commercial bushmeat hunting and the destruction of their natural environment. This deforestation can lead to a reduction in the availability of food, nesting sites, and protection from predators, ultimately impacting the survival of the mandrill population. Mandrills have adapted to live in tropical rainforest habitats, and the loss of this environment due to deforestation presents challenges for their survival. Threats in their natural habitat because of changes. In the face of deforestation, mandrills may exhibit further behavioral adaptations, such as changes in foraging patterns and increased tree-dwelling behavior to cope with the loss of their natural habitat on the forest floor
