Pinselly Classified Forest is situated in Mamou Prefecture, south-eastern part of Fouta Djallon Highlands in Guinea.

The protected area is characterized by dry montane forests, tall-grassed savanna patches, and dense evergreen vegetation with giant trees in the moist valleys.

It is a home for forest elephants, hippopotamuses, and a large diversity of primates and ungulates.

In fact, there is a high density of the endangered Western chimpanzee, and this area is a stronghold for the species, together with the nearby Soya Classified Forest.

Pinselly Classified forest has a good potential in wildlife tourism, due to its relative proximity to Conakry (300 km).
