Rehabilitating Cameroon's trafficked wildlife while connecting communities to the nature around them.
About Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC)
The Limbe Wildlife Centre has spent three decades in Cameroon rescuing animals from the illegal wildlife trade, connecting people with nature and supporting the communities around it.
Cameroon's wildlife is under sustained threat, driven largely by poaching and the illegal trade in wild animals. Endangered primates and African grey parrots are among those taken from the forest, often leaving traumatised, orphaned or injured animals in their wake.
The centre offers them a second chance. For thirty years it has rescued and rehabilitated victims of this trade, providing sanctuary and specialist care, including a dedicated enclosure for chimpanzees with disabilities and tailored enrichment to help animals recover and thrive.
Its approach is deliberately threefold. Rescue and rehabilitation give individual animals a route back to wellbeing. Education brings the next generation into conservation through school and centre-based programmes that reach children every year. And community engagement tackles the problem at its source, working with local people to develop sustainable livelihoods that offer an alternative to hunting and trading wildlife.
This is conservation that treats animals, people and habitat as part of the same picture. By caring for rescued animals while helping communities prosper without harming wildlife, the centre addresses both the symptoms and the causes of the trade. Supporting its work sustains long-term, compassionate care and the local partnerships that make it possible. ecoflix is proud to stand alongside them.
