Enhancing Local Capacity to Monitor Endangered Large Carnivores in the Bénoué Ecosystem, North Cameroon with Special Reference to Painted Dog Lycaon Pictus

The project aims to implement a long-term monitoring system through the training of local eco-guards (identification of signs and camera trapping) to eventually enhance management of large carnivores which suffer from poaching, decreased prey densities, and conflicts with humans in this poorly studied area.

Awareness Campaign for the Protection of Endangered Great Apes in the Tubah Upland Forest

This project aims to help in the conservation of the great apes population in Tubah Upland Forest through community awareness campaign.

Status of Human-Elephant Conflicts in the Campo-Ma’an Landscape, Southern Cameroon

The project aims is to gives a social insight in the elephant conflict with local people around the Campo-Ma’an NP during both wet and dry season and proposes solutions.

Support to the Sustainable Community Management of the Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary in Cameroon

To improve on the capacity of the Clan Forest Councils to actively engage in the sustainable management of their forest resources as local key forest actors.

Preserving Dead Wood Over Forest Management Practices and Conservation of Wood-Inhabiting Fungi in the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve

The project is aiming at promoting coarse wood debris (CWD) preservation for wood-inhabiting fungi conservation in the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve, where intensive sylvicultural management implying CWD destruction negatively affects fungal community.

Santchou Forest Reserve, Cameroon

This project is concerned with the regeneration of Cameroon’s Santchou Forest Reserve Buffer Zone

Promotion of the Sustainable Use of Indigenous Wildlife Resources as Medicinal Wildlife, in Cameroon’s North-West Region

This project is has two aims: (i) a case study of the use and means of acquisition of indigenous wildlife resources as medicinal wildlife (ii) to raise public awareness for the sustainable use and management of the identified species.

Promotion of the Sustainable Use of Indigenous Wildlife Resources as Medicinal Wildlife, in Cameroon’s North-West Region

This project 2nd Phase aims to continue to project and prevent the threat to indigenous wildlife species by the unsustainable use for traditional medicine; to instill greater mentality change and inspire actions for their sustainable use/management.

Wildlife Conservation in the Ebensuk-Mambo Communal Forest Area

This project aims to build the biodiversity conservation capacity of local communities in the Upper Banyang forest area of Cameroon, which is part of the Cross-Sanaga-Bioko coastal forest ecoregion.

Contribution to the Knowledge of Fruit Bats of the Southern Cameroon Rainforest: Implication for Seed Dispersal and Forest Conservation

The overall aims of this project are to study and evaluate the role of fruit bats as keystone species in plant-animal interaction in the southern Cameroon rainforest.

The Role of the Fruit Bat Eidolon Helvum in Seed Dispersal of Azadirachta Indica, a Valuable Multipurpose Tree in the Sahelian Region of Northern Cameroon

The overall aims of this project is to investigate the role of the fruit bat Eidolon helvum to seed dispersal and survival in Azadirachta indica, a valuable and multipurpose tree in the sahelian region of Northern Cameroon.

Empowering Local People to Conserve Bats in North Cameroon

The overall aim of this project is to create public awareness and participation in the conservation of bat community in north Cameroon.

Reforestation and Conservation of the Bikov Forest, Bui Division, North West Cameroon

The aim of the project is to reforest and conserve the Bikov community Forest in Vekovi village, replacing Eucalyptus trees with indigenous environmental friendly trees that protect water sources.

Human Influence on the Diversity and Distribution of Endemic Amphibians, on Mount Manengouba, Cameroon

This study investigates how anthropogenic activities influence the composition, distribution and status of endemic amphibians on mount Manengouba. This should set the base for monitoring program for amphibians and contribute to a sustainable land management strategy in the region.

Green Carbon Inventories and Sequestration in Mangrove Forest Stands with Various Wood Exploitation Pressures Along Central African Atlantic Coast, Cameroon

The project will aim to quantify carbon stocks and sequestration in mangrove forest stands subjected to different wood exploitation pressures with technical document useful for climate change projects.

Takamanda Forest Surveys Project

This project seeks to study the population (estimated at around 100), distribution and ecology of the gorillas of the Takamanda and Mone Forest Reserves in Cameroon, along the border of eastern Nigeria.

Study of Genetic and Morphological Divergence in some African Rain Forest Birds from the Upper Guinea (Ghana) and Lower Guinea (Cameroon): Implications for Evolutionary Conservation

This project aims to assess the taxonomic status of avian species that are found on both sides of the Dahomey Gap in West Africa. Isolated populations on either side of the gap may be deeply divergent genetically over several million of years, and likely represent distinct species worthy of conservation.

Integrated Conservation and Development Project in Dja Faunal Reserve, Cameroon

A project to develop a plan for sustainable hunting in an area critical to great apes in Cameroon.

Integrated Conservation and Development Project in Dja Faunal Reserve, Cameroon

A project to develop a plan for sustainable hunting in an area critical to great apes in Cameroon.

Integrated Conservation and Development Project in Dja Faunal Reserve, Cameroon

A project to develop a plan for sustainable hunting in an area critical to great apes in Cameroon.

Importance of Natural Forest Clearings in Central Africa for Forest Mammals and Conservation

The major aims of this project are to investigate the factors influencing visitation rates of large mammals at bais, test camera traps as new bai-monitoring tools and contribute to capacity building of local assistants.

Approaches to Correlating Vectors and Diseases in Rainforest Cameroon Using Molecular Genetics and Remote Sensing

This project aims to determine vector diversity and use PCR-based detection methods to estimate avian haemosporidian parasites within these vectors. Additionally, we examine the bio-climatic and remote sensing variables that best correlate with vector abundance and disease prevalence.

Correlating Vectors and Diseases in the Rainforests of Cameroon Using Molecular Genetics and Remote Sensing

This study combines molecular and microscopic techniques to examine the bio-climatic and remote sensing variables that best correlate with vector abundance and disease prevalence.

Community-Based Conservation of Endangered Primates in Southwest Cameroon

The project aims at promoting the conservation of animal wildlife and the sustainable harvest of natural resources by building the capacity of local communities and support local initiatives in the long term conservation of endangered wildlife in the Korup Region of Cameroon.
