25 years of efforts to protect wildlife

Our internationally renowned efforts were rewarded at the Conference of the Parties (CoP) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Geneva, Switzerland. The Limbe Wildlife is the sole recipient of the prestigious 2019 Clark R. Bavin Wildlife Law Enforcement Award. There was no better occasion to celebrate our 25 years of work in Cameroon. The ceremony, postponed from 2018 due to the civil conflict in the Anglophone regions where Limbe is located, was a great opportunity to celebrate our community partners, our dedicated staff and former managing teams. Some honoured guests were invited, including national and local government representatives and traditional rulers. As a special invitee, the UNESCO, our partner of the #ProtectWildlife Campaign launched in May 2019, reminded community members and schoolchildren present this day of the value of Cameroon’s biodiversity as part of the World Natural Heritage andnationalrichness.
