The Mbam et Djerem National Park, created in January 2000, is a mechanism of the environmental compensation plan for the Chad-Cameroon pipeline project. With a surface area of 416,512 hectares, the Park extends into the Adamaoua region, in an area comprising both equatorial rainforest (to the south and east) and Sudano-Guinean savannah zones. The park is crossed by two major rivers: • Djerem, which flows from north to south in the eastern part of the Park and is in fact the name given to the upper reaches of the Sanaga • Mbam, the Sanaga's main tributary, which also flows from north to south, but in the western part of the Park FEDEC's activities in the Mbam et Djerem National Park aim to provide long-term financial support for the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity. To achieve this objective, FEDEC works in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), which is its executing agency on the following programs
  • Park protection and development
  • Securing park boundaries
  • Anti-braccooning
  • Capacity building for conservation services
  • Monitoring and research into the dynamics of key wildlife species
  • Environmental education
