Helping the little-known Primates of Nigeria and Cameroon's unique forests

find-us-on-facebookHere at Tengwood.org, we are dedicated to helping save two unique primates found in Nigeria and Cameroon; the drill monkey and the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee. Our mission on this website is to provide up to date information on the status of these primates. We also provide information about our own and other's efforts to help preserve them in their natural habitat. With your help, we hope to return to fieldwork in Nigeria or Cameroon!

Tengwood Organization's Clean Water for Coservation Project

Clean drinking water combined with species protection – water and biodiversity - how do these two things go together? Park Rangers are on the frontlines of species protection. Patrols involve physically rigorous work in challenging habitats, and clean drinking water is therefore important for optimal health, helping the Rangers accomplish a physically demanding job. Protection of the wild habitats that remain is a key factor in the fight to save wildlife. Illegal hunting, illegal logging, and encroachment of protected areas for human uses, such as farming, are all threats to species survival. Ranger patrols play an important role in preserving protected areas. Communities living near protected areas can also play a role in species protection – our water project involves these communities by providing water and educational programs and materials for school programs to help make the connections between structures in the environment that impact natural water sources, including trees and wildlife, the impact of humans on natural waterways, and the role these play in maintaining healthy watersheds. Tengwood.org’s idea to combine water with conservation is financed by our partners at Aqua-pura.org, with additional support from the Swiss Consulate in Nigeria, the Reformierte Kirche Opfikon and one anonymous donor. We welcome all support for this project!
