Environmental Education

Context

The environmental education program implemented by AMCO aims to raise awareness among local communities about the conservation of marine and aquatic ecosystems, especially in the coastal areas of Cameroon. It is deployed in localities such as Limbe, Nkam, Dizangue and Kribi, with the ambition of training eco-responsible citizens and encouraging the active participation of populations in the protection of these fragile environments.","Depending on local realities, several themes are addressed, including the importance of protected areas, the richness of Cameroon's aquatic and marine biodiversity, the threats to these environments, as well as the promotion of environmentally friendly behavior.","The program uses a variety of pedagogical approaches, such as school visits, outreach at community events, creative workshops, and awareness campaigns. Since its launch, AMCO has reached thousands of people, both adults and children. This continued action has contributed to significantly reducing some harmful practices such as poaching, consumption of protected species and other environmental threats in coastal villages.
