Community development

Our commitment to education involves the local communities as well. We strongly believe that conservation goes hand in hand with protecting the communities. After more than a decade of investing time, energy and funds in the local villages, we are finally achieving encouraging collaborative projects so they feel like they are partners in our conservation efforts. Aiding these efforts is the ever-increasing tourism and conservation awareness in Cameroon.

Take action!
