OUR STORY

        Environmental Advocates for Responsible and Thriving Habitat for Wildlife, Indigenous Communities, and Sustainable Conservation (EARTHWISE), is an apolitical organization recognized in accordance with Article 7 of Law No.90/053 of December 19, 1990, on freedom of organization in Cameroon officially registered under the declaration receipt NºD86/RDA/F.34/SAA.JP. is a nonprofit organization committed to environmental conservation and sustainable development while improving the livelihoods of communities reliant on natural resources. Founded  in Dschang by students and faculty of the University of Dschang, along with other researchers and environmental advocates, the organization emerged from a shared concern over ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and the challenges faced by indigenous communities.

             EARTHWISE CONSERVATION adopts a participatory and research-driven approach, working closely with local populations to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with modern conservation strategies. Through scientific research, environmental education, community-based conservation, and sustainable livelihood initiatives, the organization fosters a balance between human well-being and biodiversity preservation.

OUR MISSION

           Our mission is to protect wildlife and their habitats while ensuring a sustainable future for local communities. Through scientific research, environmental education, and awareness-raising initiatives, the organization seeks to foster a deeper understanding and active participation in conservation efforts.
