As in our Facebook page, Centre for Indigenous Resources Management and Development – Cirmad, Under our Participatory Programme for the Protection of Chimpanzees (PAPPro-Chimps), CIRMAD has donated a honey press (machine) to Kedjom Keku Conservation Association for Sustainable Development (Kedjom Keku CASUD), to support its bee farming activities, as community conservation activities to promote the conservation of the endangered Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee the Tubah Upland Forest (TUF).
TUF suffers from human activities that have led to habitat destruction and fragmentation of corridors in the internationally recognized chimp habitat site situated just some 10km from the Bamenda metropolis.
Bee farming is a conservation-friendly IGA being promoted by CIRMAD for adjacent communities of conservation sites.e then Cameroon Minister of Forestry and Wildlife alongside his Nigerian colleague (Federal Minister of Environment).
