The white-naped mangabey, Cercocebus lunulatus, is an Old World monkey in the subfamily Cercopithecinae that lives in the forests of Burkina Faso, Ghana and Ivory Coast. It was once classed as a subspecies of the sooty mangabey, but it is now treated as a separate species with its own scientific name. Its population has been declining because of deforestation and hunting, and for that reason the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as an endangered species. The animal is a primate of the forests of the three West African countries named here, so the fate of those forests largely sets the fate of the species.
