"Green Cameroon is non-profit making organization that works to conserve and protect nature in Cameroon. It was founded in 2003 by a group of Cameroonians who felt concerned about the level of environmental degradation and lack of interest/awareness on environmental issues that prevailed at the level of the average Cameroonian.

Green Cameroon was formed with a strong commitment to fighting environmental problems in our communities like deforestation, desertification, unsustainable farming practices, improper waste disposal methods, water scarcity, health problems linked to sanitation and general lukewarm attitude towards and nature conservation issues. Green Cameroon helps local community members to live better lives by improving on living standards alongside making scarce resources available for posterity.
