Work Areas

Main CEPA work area

Restoration and conservation of biodiversity. Raising awareness of waste management; producing guides and leaflets

Top three successes

1. Project to improve the sustainable management of the Ebogo tourist site. We helped the community to implement a participatory management approach for the tourist site, which is home to one of the greatest diversities of butterflies (1,005 species), one of the oldest trees in the world, and is watered by the River Nyong. We contributed to improving waste management at the site, and collection bags were provided to the site managers.
2. We have contributed to supporting the sustainable management of biodiversity in Campo Ma’an National Park through capacity-building in RFA management, including the production of leaflets for this purpose, training for local communities in agroecology, campaigns to restore green spaces, and the establishment of community nurseries.
3. Contribution to the sound management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in Campo Ma’an National Park to reduce human–wildlife conflicts
