Environmental Advocacy Strategy for Bakossi Natural Park

The WWF Cameroon’s Coastal Forest Program supports the conservation of important ecosystems through environmental education and the provision of alternative livelihoods in the Bakossi landscape, an isolated rural area in Cameroon’s Southwest region. WWF’s activities will now be expanded to include an environmental advocacy strategy, whereby civil society will be supported to better advocate for their environmental rights. UNIQUE has been contracted to develop this advocacy strategy in collaboration with local and national civil society organizations. Upon validation of the strategy, UNIQUE will organize and facilitate a two-day workshop whereby local communities in the Bakossi landscape will learn about environmental advocacy and their rights and obligations with regards to the environment.
