Cameroon is one of the last places on earth where gorillas and chimpanzees still exist in the wild. Our front line conservation work includes rescuing gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys orphaned by the illegal bushmeat and pet trades, and giving them a safe forest sanctuary home where they can live with their own kind. Conservation included people, too, and we work directly with local villagers, developing community projects to generate income for them. We have a thriving education programme and our teamwork with thousands of children and adults every year, most of whom have never seen the majestic gorillas and chimpanzees until they visit our forest sanctuary at Mefou Primate Park.
