In Africa’s Cameroon, 60,000 hectares of rainforest are at risk from deforestation.

The area is home to western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, buffalo, panthers and pangolins.

Threat to wildlife living in these hectares

Unfortunately, the government is in the process of allocating 60,000 hectares of rainforest to the Cambert SARL company for palm oil plantation. 

Did I mention that Cameroon is one of the few countries in the world where there are gorillas?  They, and the Campo Ma’an National Park are in danger from deforestation.

There’s a cost to the fishermen and Bagyeli indigenous people living there, too.  They are already suffering the effects of rubber and palm oil plantations and now they risk losing their livelihood. 

How to help this rainforest

Rainforest Rescue need as many of us as possible to sign their petition, or call to action.

But what does Camvert actually REALLY want the area for?  One possibility is that they want it for wood.

Nearly 40 envrionmental protection organsiations are fighting against this destruction.

Please support the resistance in Cameroon and sign Rianforest Rescue’s petition.
