Why create Greenlife Conservation Group
The loss of biodiversity is a growing trend in all communities even in remote parts of the world. Many animal and plant populations have declined in numbers, due to habitat loss, illegal logging, poaching, unsustainable hunting practices, unsustainable exploitation of forests and water resources. The people living in and around protected areas are still poo
r despite the abundance of the natural resources in the area. Widespread of bush fires, the use of artificial fertilizers in agriculture further degrades the environment. Shifting cultivation is still widely practiced in many parts of the South West Region. Human wildlife conflicts keep growing despite government efforts to enforce the law on trade in endangered species. Human rights abuses are prevalent in the society as the women and youths do not have equal rights to economic resources. School pupils are exploited and abused by their head teachers by subjecting them to work on peoples farms while the teachers take the money without compensating the children. There exist a catalogue of problems that need to be solved. All these problems necessitated the creation of G.C.G. Our Vision:
We crave to preserve nature and defend equality of human rights. Mission of the Organisation:

Where we work
Greenlife Conservation Group is committed in working in the South West Region. We work in protected areas forest and grassland communities. We work with communities groups and individuals to advance the course of conservation and livelihood imperatives. Greenlife Conservation Group value conservation of natural resources both living and non-living native plants and animals water, soils, in Cameroon. We conserve soil fertility for organic agriculture while at the same time discouraging the use of substances that harm our natural environment. We carry out the training of groups on organic farming, bee farming, sustainable management of non-timber forest products, educating communities on hygiene and sanitation and promoting small businesses so that people especially those in forest areas reduce their dependence on the forest. We train non-agricultural groups on business planning and financial management entrepreneurship development, marketing and career development.
