Annual Report
2019
Amazing things can still happen
PANDRILLUS COUNTRY DIRECTOR’S EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | GUILLAUME LE FLOHIC
Dear Friends and Supporters, 2019 marked a major turn in our efforts to protect wildlife in Cameroon. Although our primary goal remains the welfare of the rescued animals at the Limbe Wildlife Centre, we are proud of our progress developing a wider conservation strategy to increase our local and national impact. We were honoured to receive the prestigious 2019 Clark R. Bavin Wildlife Law Enforcement Award at the Conference of the Parties to the CITES in Geneva, Switzerland. This award was in recognition of our consistent dedication to the welfare of rescued animals. We also hosted our partners, community members, school children and government officials to celebrate LWC’s 25th anniversary working with Cameroon’s Ministry of Forestry and
Wildlife to rescue and protect Cameroon’s important wildlife heritage. In addition to our substantial daily operations caring for over 500 rescued animals, we focused on four additional priorities throughout 2019: education; rescue, rehabilitation and release ‘3R’; applied science; and community engagement. Education: We proudly inaugurated the #ProtectWildlife Campaign on Endangered Species Day, which became the common thread of our Nature Club, School outreach and Batoke Family Nature Club throughout 2019. We designed this new intergenerational programme to educate, engage and inspire communities to protect their wildlife heritage.
