On July 7, 2026, the Minister of Environment, Nature Protection, and Sustainable Development, Hélé Pierre, chaired a workshop in Yaoundé to launch this project, which aims to reconcile biodiversity preservation, local development, and climate resilience.
This project is a crucial step in the implementation of a vast ecosystem restoration program in Cameroon, which benefits from the financial and technical support of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
Ecosystem restoration is vital for preserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable development in Cameroon, a country that hosts a wide variety of ecosystems, including tropical forests, savannas, and wetlands.
The project is also expected to contribute to improving the climate resilience of local communities, enabling them to better manage natural resources and adapt to climate change.
Minister Hélé Pierre emphasized the importance of this project for Cameroon's sustainable development and called for its effective and efficient implementation.
The developments of this project are being closely watched, as they could have positive consequences for the environment and local communities.
