In February 2018, the Limbe Wildlife Centre had its accreditation with the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) renewed for another five years. PASA is the largest association of wildlife centres and sanctuaries in Africa, founded by the Limbe Wildlife Centre, along with 6 other primate sanctuaries. Today, PASA includes 23 organisations in 13 countries that demonstrate exceptional commitment and the highest standards of animal welfare and conservation practices, to securing a future for Africa’s primates and theirInhabitat.April2018, the Limbe Wildlife Centre was voted Best Volunteer Abroad Project and chosen to feature in Tutorful’s Wildlife Conservation editorial along with other prestigious organisations making a notable difference in wildlife conservation worldwide. The LWC gives people the chance to volunteer and assist experienced caregivers with the daily caregiving activities, offering the opportunity for volunteers to experience making a meaningful contribution to primate conservation (and all the satisfaction this provides).
In August 2019, the Limbe Wildlife Centre received a 2019 Clark R. Bavin Wildlife Law Enforcement Award at the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Geneva, Switzerland, in recognition of the remarkable efforts the LWC has made to help combat wildlife crime.

The LWC is of course a partnership with MINFOF, the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife, and as such stands out as being unique among similar projects in West Africa and as a successful and long lasting collaboration. A partnership such as this, going successfully for nearly 30 years, between a foreign non profit organisation and the Government of Cameroon is to be celebrated, and its fruits are clearly visible in the excellent facilities and staff at LWC.
Foreword
In March we were honoured to be visited by the Minister himself (see highlights below), who made just this point and praised the LWC and the work of his partner Pandrillus at length
Quarterly Report First quarter 2022 5
Dear friends and supporters, It is a great honour to be here in Cameroon at the Limbe Wildlife Centre and writing my first foreword as the new manager of this wonderful institution. I arrived in December and must thank my predecessor Peggy Motsch for her patience and diligence, allowing a gradual introduction to Cameroon and the great challenge that is this role during our transition period through to late February. After arriving from the U.K., the hot and dry season here was a dramatic change. The heat and humidity can be remarkable, but so too the breath taking beauty of the coastline around Limbe, with Mount Cameroon looming behind, and the vibrantly friendly people. It is incredible, and humbling, to think that the LWC has been providing a haven for rescued primates and other animals since 1993. The Victoria Zoo, as it was previously called, had 3 drills, several baboons, red capped mangabeys, guenons, Suzanne (the founding chimpanzee, who with great sadness we lost to illness in February, see the special tribute to her below) and Man Alone (the adult male mandrill) living there when Pandrillus became involved. So much has been achieved since then, by so many Whipeople.chis why it is such a great privilege to take over from Peggy and become the next link in the chain of previous project managers who have guided the LWC to where it is today. Now that it is my turn, I will strive to continue their work and take the LWC from strength to strength.
So, to my first impressions. We are clearly so very fortunate to have a wonderful team of people, including passionate local and international veterinarians, such as Dr John Kiyang, and dedicated animal carers and keepers Some like Victor Veseke or Andreas Mbong have been here since or near the very beginning and have deep wells of knowledge and experience for us all to tap into. The way they understand and care for their precious animals, having in many cases raised them from baby orphans, as if they were members of their own family, is heart warming and inspiring. They really are the heart of the project. Then there are the keen young staff members with the potential if trained and encouraged correctly, to be the future of the LWC for many years to come. All in all, it is a wonderfully warm, dedicated, and welcoming ‘family’ I am lucky enough to be joining.
It is with great excitement that I take up the role of manager at the LWC. I would like to thank you all for your ongoing support, without which nothing would be possible, and look forward to communicating and working with you as we move forward together.
Collaboration should be key for LWC with state and national governments, communities, traditional rulers, other international and local NGOs, zoos, advisory groups, and the private sector to achieve our goals and maximise the positive impact we can have.
Best wishes, Jerry Aylmer Project Manager

Outreach and education guided by the inspirational Wilson Ateh, which this year has bounced back from COVID limitations to reach nearly 2000 local school children
There can of course be complexities and challenges operating in this environment, and there have already been a number this year But our mission as Pandrillus and our focus at the LWC is clear The number one priority will always be the animals We rescue, rehabilitate and if possible, release, and will always strive to achieve what is best for the animals and their wellbeing, whatever the challenges. As I start out on this journey, I am also extremely fortunate to have such expertise and experience among our directors the founders of Pandrillus, Peter Jenkins and Liza Gadsby, and Felix Lankester, a vet and himself a previous manager at the LWC. In Nigeria, Pandrillus runs Drill Ranch and Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary, protecting species such as the critically endangered Cross River gorilla, the Nigeria Cameroon chimpanzee, and the drill. So, here also there is a wealth of knowledge to tap into, and plenty of opportunities for collaboration and the exchange of Theideas.approach at LWC will continue: Care of our rescued creatures, often the victims of poaching, conservation outreach and education designed to inspire people to respect and protect nature, alternative livelihood creation and positive advocacy. The aim is to promote wildlife conservation and help to protect Cameroon’s incredible habitats and endangered species, particularly those which are endemic to the South West region. Beyond the core purpose of caring for our animals, key to our broader aims will be to maintain and bring fresh energy to our long running and highly regarded conservation and education programme: The Green Project provides alternative livelihoods to ex hunting families around Mount Cameroon National Park, who harvest various green leaf crops and by products as browse for our hungry gorillas, drills, chimpanzees, and other primates
The African grey parrot rehabilitation and release programme is the only one in Cameroon, helping to stem the tide of destruction wrought by the illegal pet trade on this beautiful and charismatic bird
Our priority financial needs
We were pleased to finally reopen our gates to visitors in December 2021, with new updated sanitary protocols to ensure the biosecurity of the rescued animals. This included hand washing stations and mandatory mask wearing for anyone at the wildlife centre
The COVID 19 virus presents a considerable threat to non human primates, which are very likely to be susceptible to infection. Therefore, the Limbe Wildlife Centre has been taking actions to protect our primates from COVID 19 by taking necessary precautions to limit their exposure to the infection through the pandemic. Therefore, we made the difficult decision to close our doors to visitors and volunteers during the worst of the pandemic. Crucially, this meant that we lost a significant source of income when our operational costs were rising to deal with the pandemic.
1. Help us continue to protect our rescued animals during COVID-19!
When the pandemic began, we chose to provide additional supplements to our primates to boost their immune systems. Over two years later, the threat from COVID 19 remains, and therefore we continue to provide additional protein rich and nutrient rich foods, such as rice and beans, soya cake, multivitamins, minerals, cod liver oil and medicinal plants. By boosting the immune system of our vulnerable rescue animals, they will be better equipped to fight off the clinical symptoms of not just COVID 19, but other viral infections. This will also enable us to put our energy into isolating and providing special care to our more vulnerable individuals if ever an outbreak should happen. We must continue to boost the immunity of 14 critically endangered gorillas, 39 endangered chimps, and 66 endangered drills and maintain biosecurity measures vs. COVID 19! All these precautionary measures are essential to protect our rescue primates, yet they continue to put daily financial pressure on the wildlife centre. You can help us to protect them if you donate now!
Quarterly Report First quarter 2022 7
More than two years since the first cases of COVID 19 were reported, Cameroon has experienced at least four waves of infection. Since the fourth wave, which peaked in January 2022, the rates of infection have progressively decreased. Since the beginning of the pandemic to June 2022, there have been nearly 120,000 confirmed cases of COVID 19 with 1,930 deaths in Cameroon (World Health Organisation).
3. Maintenance of the chimpanzee night enclosures
Tensions increased last year within the putty nosed monkey group and led to serious fights among the individuals. This has resulted in wounds and after thorough observations, it was decided the best solution was to urgently increase the space and re enrich and diversify the enclosure to reduce tensions. That will result in improving every individual's welfare and the group will also have access to a larger grassy area, hence contributing to stimulating natural foraging and feeding behaviours.
The comfort and health of our animals in paramount. The sleeping areas of the chimps are showing signs of age rust and damage. Many sleeping platforms are now bare metal. Please help us provide our adorable chimps with a good night’s sleep, and the warmer surfaces they need as the cooler wet season approaches, by contributing to the funds required to give them wooden sleeping platforms and make repairs to the corroded areas of their den. Help us make our chimpanzees more comfortable and donate now!
Please donate to make a difference in the lives of our putty nosed monkeys!

The Limbe Wildlife Centre celebrated International Women’s Day in March. His Excellency Jules Doret Ndongo, The Minister of Forestry and Wildlife, visited LWC for the first time on 24th March. It was our pleasure to welcome and introduce him to our site, hard working staff, and charismatic animals.
All LWC staff, managers and volunteers knew Suzanne with her own unique character and great kindness to other chimpanzees and humans alike.
“She cared for most of the young chimps like their mother and was well respected by the others. Adieu, Ma Suzanne!” Victor Veseke & Andreas Mbong “Suzanne, Mother of Limbe Wildlife Centre. When we met Suzanne in 1991, she was bald, scabby, nailed into a 1 cubic metre cage, but cheerful, mischievous, kind and trusting. Staff of the then Victoria Zoo did their best with few resources. Suzanne inspired us to embark on the creation of the Limbe Wildlife Centre in partnership with the Government of Cameroon. If it wasn't for you, Suzie, LWC would not exist today. Farewell to our oldest friend in Cameroon.” LWC Directors, Liza Gadsby & Peter Jenkins

Farewell Suzanne: 1986-2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of the Limbe Wildlife Centre's most iconic chimpanzee. Suzanne left us too soon, at the age of 35. She was here before the project was created in 1993 and was the last of those original LWC residents.
