Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund (CWAF)

Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund (CWAF) is a UK registered charity that runs the Mvog-Betsi zoo and Mefou National Park in Cameroon, in conjunction with the Cameroon government. They also have a full education, community outreach, and volunteer programme.

CWAF aims to ensure Cameroon's primates have a healthy future. Working with the government, local communities and other ecological groups around the world, they hope to show people the amazing diversity of wildlife in Cameroon, and explain exactly how and why it should be protected. CWAF operates two sites in Cameroon in co-operation with MINEF, the Cameroon Ministry of Environment and forests :

    * Mefou National Park is situated around 40 minutes from Nsimalen Airport in Yaounde. It contains 1044 hectares of forest, and four large electrified enclosures housing gorillas, chimpanzees and baboons. Mefou is the perfect setting for visitors to see Cameroon's unique wildlife in a natural setting. The park also provides CWAF with a safe place to give it's orphaned animals a home as close as possible to their natural environment.

    * In the heart of Yaounde, the Mvog-Betsi Zoo is home to CWAF's large collection of primates. Run by CWAF in conjunction with MINEF, the Cameroon Ministry for the Environment and Forests, Mvog Betsi is also home to some of Cameroon's big cats, reptiles and birds of prey.
