Founded in 1994 in Yaoundé Cameroon with authorisation number 00085/RDA/J06/BAPP, the Cameroon Wildlife Conservation Society (CWCS) is a national Conservation NGO working with the Government of Cameroon and other conservation NGOs and partners on environmental issues related to sustainable natural resource utilisation and economic development through:
-
Protected areas establishment: This is principally focused on conducting multiple resource inventories to identify and map out new protected areas especially within threatened ecosystems. Some of the critical ecosystems identified are the marine coastal ecosystem that includes the mangrove forests in Douala-Edea littoral zone, the extensive Nyong upper valley wetlands in South East and the Trans border Tchambal Mbabo montane forests & Savana massif in north western zone of Cameroon.
Located in the littoral province, the Douala-Edea wildlife Reserve is one of the largest and biologically rich nature reserves in Cameroon covering more than 160 000 ha created by the French colonial administration in 1932.
Situated in the centre province some 100km from the Cameroon capital, Yaounde, the upper Nyong valley wetlands cover more than 200,000 ha. The area has been identified by WWF as one of the global 200 priority ecosystems needing urgent conservation actions.
