About CWAF Mefou national park Mvog-betsi zoo		CWAF Management Volunteer Stories of gorillas and chimps

The missions of the CAMEROON WILDLIFE AID FUND (CWAF)

Cwaf aims to ensure Cameroon's primates have a healthy future.
Working with the government, local communities and other ecological groups around the world, we hope to show people the amazing diversity of wildlife in Cameroon, and explain exactly how and why it should be protected.

Cwaf operates two sites in Cameroon in co-operation with the"Cameroon Ministry of Environment and Protection of the Nature":

Mefou national park

Mvog-betsi zoo

Mefou National park is situated around 40 minutes from Nsimalen airport in Yaounde. It contains 1044 hectares of forest, and several large electrified enclosures housing gorillas, chimpanzees and baboons.

Mefou is the perfect setting for visitors to see Cameroon's unique wildlife in a natural setting.
