Recognizing Cameroon’s rising biodiversity loss and climate crisis, the Environment and Community Development Association (ECODAs) was created on the 22nd of May 2015, which is also World Biodiversity Day, and registered officially as a non-profit and non-governmental organization by Cameroon’s Ministry of Territorial Administration on the 13th of August 2018 (Registration No: 247/E.27/750/SAAJP). Our goal is to see a sustainable world where wildlife and people thrive together in healthy ecosystems.
ECoDAs focus on environmental education, restoration of fragile ecosystems, conservation of at-risk flora and fauna species, and strengthening communities’ livelihoods through income and economic development opportunities.
