Support Community-Led Conservation in Cameroon

Protect Nature. Empower Communities. Build Climate Resilience.

Cameroon is one of Africa’s most important biodiversity hotspots—home to endangered wildlife, vital forests, and Indigenous and local communities whose lives are deeply connected to the land. Yet these ecosystems face growing threats from habitat loss, climate change, and unsustainable resource use.

ACES (Action for Conservation and Environmental Sustainability) works at the root of these challenges by placing communities at the center of conservation. Your donation makes this possible.

Why Your Support Matters

Your contribution advances community-led, science-based conservation that:

• Protects endangered species and restores degraded ecosystems

• Strengthens sustainable livelihoods linked to conservation success

• Secures community land rights and inclusive governance

• Builds climate resilience through nature-based solutions

• Improves public health by addressing environmental drivers of disease

• Empowers youth as the next generation of environmental leaders

Together, this integrated approach delivers long-term benefits for biodiversity, people, and the global climate.
