𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸…

As we look back on our World Environment Day 2026 celebration, we are proud to reflect on the successful showcase of our Community Greenhouse Project in Limbola, Limbe, Cameroon.

The event brought together beneficiaries of the project, government authorities, traditional leaders, private sector representatives, and community members to explore how sustainable agriculture can create new livelihood opportunities while reducing pressure on marine resources.

A highlight of the day was the first harvest of bell peppers grown by project beneficiaries just six months after the initiative began. 🌶️

Supported by the French Embassy in Cameroon, this project is helping build resilient coastal communities, strengthen food security, and contribute to marine conservation and climate action.

At the end of the project showcase, participants expressed a strong desire to see the initiative expanded to more coastal communities in Limbe. AMCO has heard their call and is committed to scaling up the project by establishing at least 30 additional greenhouses in the coming years, creating more sustainable livelihood opportunities while strengthening marine conservation efforts.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée mondiale de l’océan, nous avons lancé officiellement Pro‑Campo – une initiative transfrontalière de conservation marine pour le paysage de Campo, partagé entre le Cameroun et la Guinée équatoriale.

L’événement a réuni l’Union européenne, le MINFOF, les autorités locales, les chefs traditionnels, les communautés de pêcheurs, les femmes, les jeunes, les partenaires de notre consortium ( , et ANDEGE), ainsi qu’une délégation venue de Guinée équatoriale.

Ensemble, nous nous engageons à renforcer les aires marines protégées, à restaurer les mangroves et les plages de nidification des tortues, à soutenir des moyens de subsistance durables et à favoriser la coopération transfrontalière.

Nous remercions chaleureusement l’Union européenne pour son soutien financier.

Rendez‑vous le 10 juin pour le lancement en Guinée équatoriale !

L’océan n’a pas de frontières – nos efforts pour le protéger non plus

Precious Ash, the creative director and screenwriter of our cartoon series on sharks and rays, shares what this series means for the future and for children in coastal communities across Cameroon.

“We wanted to create a story that would outlive not just a certain season… a child discovering her ocean and discovering how she can share that with other kids in her community,” she said.

As we count down to World Oceans Day 2026, get ready for the 🎬 premiere on 8 June 2026.
