Limbe Wildlife Centre

The Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC) is a wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and conservation education project and is situated in the South-West Region of Cameroon. In short, the centre was founded 1993 and is managed by the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) and the Pandrillus Foundation. Since 1993, the Pandrillus Foundation has become a registered non-profit NGO in the USA and in Nigeria and Cameroon.

Pandrillus aims to protect Cameroonian wildlife in collaboration with government to enforce wildlife law, inspire a new generation of conservationists and inspire a new generation of conservationists and bridge the gap between welfare and conservation.

Overall our aims are to:

• Rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. Furthermore, we work to ensure high quality veterinary care and animal husbandry standards for all animals.
• Help secure the long-term survival of threatened and endangered species native to Cameroon. We do this through conservation education initiatives and alternative employment to hunting for the local community.
• Work with law enforcement agencies to combat the illegal bushmeat and wildlife trades.

Additionally, every year we welcome approximately 50,000 visitors to the centre. Around 95% of our visitors are Cameroonian. Furthermore, every year we engage around 1,200 children in our education outreach programmes. Finally, we work with 123 community members via our Green Project.
