Project objectives

• 20 ecoguards trained, equipped and carrying out anti-poaching patrols in the Dja Biosphere Reserve;
• A community surveillance network established and reporting incidences of wildlife crime;
• Wildlife protection plans with SMART anti-poaching patrols implemented in almost 6,000km2 timber concessions with the Dja complex periphery;
• Overall it is anticipated that great ape and elephant populations will stabilize whilst incidence of poaching will fall by at least 20% over the course of the project.
