Welcome to the Ngoyla Mintom Campaign, a new initiative created in 2009 to support the conservation and sustainable development of Ngoyla Mintom, a 1 million hectare rainforest in southern Cameroon.
Ngoyla Mintom is a globally important rainforest, incredibly rich in biodiversity, including gorillas, elephants, chimpanzees and mandrills. The area also forms a vital link between neighbouring protected areas in Cameroon, Gabon and Congo, which together form part of a vast 15 million hectare forest.
Unfortunately, Ngoyla Mintom is in peril. The government of Cameroon, under pressure given the current economic crisis, announced in December 2008 that it will begin granting logging concessions for the forest within the next few months unless a robust and large proposal can be secured from the international conservation community to financially support the conservation and sustainable development of Ngoyla Mintom.
Given the importance and vulnerability of Ngoyla Mintom, the Ngoyla Mintom Campaign was created in 2009 to increase the profile of this forest and to raise funds for its conservation and sustainable development.
