Impact of Landslides on Communities in Cameroon

Communities in Cameroon have been threatened by natural disasters. One of the more common is landslides that pose a significant and multifaceted threat to the lives on the local inhabitants. Substantial socio-economic and environmental consequences have been cause by this phenomenon. With the advent of climate change, the frequency of this hazard are increasing significantly. The Recent Dschang Hill-side in November 2024, that cause tense of lives loss has call for concern on road users, and local farmer working along hillslopes. EEGA has as a mission to sensitize the local communities on safety measures to take during landslide prone seasons (the wet or rainy seasons) Statistics show that landslides in Cameroon are frequently triggered by heavy rainfall, a characteristic of the region's humid, tropical climate. Seismic triggered landslides are uncommon in the country but may be enhanced by highly saturated soils along cliffs and hill slope. Several research projects have been conducted to evaluate the causes of this frequent natural hazard and yet the level of sensitization of the local population with information on how to mitigate and manage the occurrence of this event is very low. This explains the reason why so many people keep falling victim of this hazard in the national territory. Thus a lot need to be done to create awareness and prepare the local population on how to mitigate and manage this phenomenon in the future.

Save pangolins: Transforming young pangolin hunters into pangolin guardians

Pangolins, shy and scaly mammals, are found in Cameroon's forests and play a key role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by controlling insect populations. Sadly, they are critically endangered due to poaching and illegal trafficking. Conservation efforts in Cameroon aim to protect pangolins through education, anti-poaching patrols, and the preservation of their habitats. Protecting pangolins is vital for biodiversity and ecological balance in the region.

Through community workshops and school campaigns, EEGA, with financial support from the Pollination Project (TPP), has raised awareness about the role of pangolins in the ecosystem and the protection status of pangolins in 134 school children and 78 youths in Ngwatta community, transforming these campaign participants into pangolin guardians of the pangolins in Ngwatta community forest, a safe for the Endangered giant pangolin (Smutsia gigantea) and the white-bellied pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis), near Santchou Fauna Reserve.
