 While drills are not often observed in or near agricultural areas, they can be considered pests, and shot by farmers to protect crops, particularly by the Bubi, the native people of Bioko, who tend to be predominantly agricultural, and live closer to greater populations of the drill.Loss of habitat due to climate change will primarily affect lowland areas in Bioko Island, due to rising sea levels disturbing those regions.This will likely affect large proportions of the drill’s population, as the lowland habitats are conducive to larger groups of drills, and are generally preferred.
