Cameroonian Customs officials intercepted 118 elephant ivory tusks weighing 626 kg hidden in a merchandise truck in Ambam. This historic operation marks the largest single ivory seizure ever recorded in the strategic tri-border region where Cameroon, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea meet, directly disrupting the financial lifelines of organized wildlife crime.
This decisive victory highlights the power of the AFRICA-TWIX platform, a secure digital network connecting over 200 elite enforcement professionals from INTERPOL, UNODC, and regional customs.
By facilitating instant, cross-border intelligence sharing, this framework allows investigators to bypass bureaucratic delays, launch deep international investigations, and dismantle the sophisticated supply chains threatening Africa's endangered wildlife

Over the years, we have trained numerous farmers from Penja, Kumba, and Buea in multiplication of plantain seedlings(an essential step in addressing food insecurity and fostering sustainable farming practices). While the positive feedback from farmers has been encouraging, a common challenge has always been the fragility of the seedlings. Without proper care, more than 30% of these seedlings succumb to factors such as climate-related disasters, diseases, and the influence of animals or humans.

In response to this challenge, our dedicated research has led to the development of resilient plantain seedlings. These seedlings are designed to endure environmental pressures and diseases. To empower farmers with this innovation, we will be hosting free workshops to teach the techniques for developing and cultivating these durable seedlings.

on the 13th of November 2024, we held a detailed session on waste management on Ocean City Radio 88.5 FM Kumba

Waste management refers to the processes involved in managing waste from cradle to grave. This includes the collection, transportation, disposal/recycling and monitoring of waste materials produced as a result of human activity.

Cameroon as a whole struggles with waste management due to the increasing urban population couple with limited knowledge and resources.
The company in charge of waste management in Cameroon is HYSACAM (Hygiene and Sanitation Company of Cameroon).
Locals in Kumba rely heavily on HYSACAM, resulting in visible litter waste and pollution.

some ways to manage waste Include:

-Transforming organic waste into compost.
-Avoid single-use plastics, fast fashion, and disposable goods.
-Ase the 5 Rs (refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle)
-Develop clean technologies
Educative and awareness campaign etc.

Poorly managed waste can lead to a number of health issues, including:

Diarrheal diseases
Respiratory issues
Pests and diseases
Poisoning
soil contamination
water pollution
cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension.

Clean environment is good for our well-being

On October 31, 2024, we conducted a plastic cleaning campaign in Bunduma.
Plastic does not biodegrade. It can take up to 1,000 years to break down, so when it is discarded, it builds up in the environment until it reaches a crisis point. This pollution chokes marine wildlife, damages soil, poisons groundwater, and can cause serious health impacts.

Our campaign aimed to raise awareness about the importance of proper waste disposal and the need for sustainable practices to protect our environment.

on the 26 of September 2024 we engage in tree nursery to combat and mitigate climate change.
we established 200 nurseries with different types of plants .
climate change is threatening our existence, and the way to safeguard future generation is to plant more trees. Tress does not only play a crucial role in the carbon cycle, but they also help combat climate related disasters such as flood, landslide etc
Some importance benefits of trees include:
1) They produce oxygen
2)They help reduce air pollution
3)They prevent soil erosion
4)They help regulate the water cycle
5)They provide resources and habitat for wildlife
6)They support biodiversity

On the 29th of August, we carried out a risk and vulnerability analyses on the hill of Mbonjo in limbe .
The landslide that occurred between 2018 and 2020 in mbonjo was one of the most devastating.it took the lives of 5 people and equally destroyed properties.

To reduce risk, we build 3 traditional monitoring system .
We also sensitize some community members who definitely spread the message throughout the community, creating awareness and build Resilience.
Teaching them signs of landslide, mitigative and safety measures brought smiles and confidence to them
