Very
great
and
interesting
touristic
site
to
visit
in
Cameroon.
The
Limbe
Wildlife
Centre
(LWC)
is
a
conservation
education
centre
in
Limbe,
Cameroon.
The
centre
is
managed
by
the
Ministry
of
Forestry
and
Wildlife
(MINFOF)
and
the
Pandrillus
Foundation,
a
US
non-profit
NGO
also
registered
in
Nigeria
and
Cameroon.
Our
aims
are
to:
• Rescue,
rehabilitate
and
release
wildlife
rescued
from
the
illegal
bush
meat
and
pet
trades,
and
ensure
high
quality
animal
husbandry
standards
and
veterinary
care
for
all
animals.
• Help
secure
the
long
term
survival
of
threatened
and
endangered
species
native
to
Cameroon
through
conservation
education
and
alternative
employment
programmes
to
hunting
for
the
local
community.
• Work
with
law
enforcement
agencies
to
combat
the
illegal
bush
meat
and
wildlife
trades.
Every
year
we
welcome
approximately
50,000
visitors
to
the
centre,
of
which
95%
are
Cameroonians.
Furthermore,
every
year
we
engage
with
more
than
1,100
children
through
our
education
outreach
programmes.
the
ultimate
goal
is
to
enable
rehabilitated
individuals
of
threatened
species
to
be
reintroduced
to
restore
wild
populations
when
and
where
appropriate,
while
supporting
national
law
enforcement
efforts.
Currently,
they
provide
care
to
more
than
250
animals.
These
animals
include
the
Western
Lowland
Gorilla
(critically
endangered),
Central
and
Nigeria-Cameroon
Chimpanzee
(endangered),
Drill
(endangered),
Preuss
Monkey
(endangered),
and
the
African
Grey
Parrot
(endangered).
