The Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC) is a wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and conservation education project and is situated in the South-West Region of Cameroon. The centre was founded 1993 and is managed by the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) and the Pandrillus Foundation.
Overall our aims are to:
1.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.
2. 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.
3. Work with law enforcement to combat the illegal bushmeat and wildlife trades.
Every year we welcome approximately 50,000 visitors to the centre, engage 1,500 children in our education outreach programmes, and work with 123 community members via our Green Project.
