Few nocturnal species have been studied, but serval Felis serval is thought to be common, as are lesser galago Galago senegalensis . Some 320 species of birds have been identified, with at least 25 species of raptor including bataleur Terathopius ecaudatus , and African fish eagle Cumcuma vocifer . Ostrich Struthio camelus seem fairly common on the plains, moving to woodland areas to lay their eggs. Several species of bee-eater and kingfisher are present along the rivers. However, nomads from Chad and to some extent Sudan enter the park during the dry season, and have done for many years.
Agriculture is sparse and limited around the park boundaries.
An ecological survey of the St Floris National Park was carried out by US Peace Corps biologists in 1977 and 1978. A research centre is planned at Camp Koumbala. Most management effort goes into anti-poaching and the prevention of grazing within the park boundaries. Some army support is provided for anti-poaching work, but this has been sporadic and of short term value. Over a period of several years, FAO worked within the Central African Republic with the aim of improving wildlife management.
